Eachtotheirown makes all to book Royal Bond ticket Eachtotheirown has always been held in high regard by connections and got his jumping career off to a winning start when making all in the Corrib Oil Maiden Hurdle at Galway. The Barry Connell-trained gelding filled the runner-up spot on both bumper outings earlier this year and was sent off the well-backed 6/4 favourite here. The son of Westerner was far from fluent at the penultimate flight but only needed to be pushed out on the run-in by Sean Flanagan to beat Treasure Memory by a comfortable three lengths. Firebrand was a further three-quarters of a length away in third, while chief market rival Shuttle Diplomacy dropped away very tamely at the second last and was soon pulled up. Flanagan was completing a quick double having taken the previous maiden hurdle aboard 8/15 favourite L'Evangeliste. Connell said, “He had good runs finishing second in two bumpers but he's not a bumper horse and loves jumping hurdles. There wasn't any pace today which wasn't ideal, so he had to do it the hard way. "He will come on a tonne from that, and he went a long way before pulling him up. Sean said he had a blow going to the second last and when he picked him up at the back of the last, he took off. "He is a smasher and we have him a long time as he was bought unraced from Sam Curling. We had been minding him as he was only a frame and is only filling into it now. "We'll look at going straight to the Royal Bond now or else the Monksfield Novice in Navan, but I think Fairyhouse would suit him better." Quotes by Tom Weekes
