Goldinthesea took a step forward from a promising third on debut to get off the mark in the Group Deals Available At Dundalk Maiden.

He stepped up a furlong to a mile and went off 6/4 favourite for this assignment.

The No Nay Never colt soon tracked the leader Flanker Jet and got on terms two furlongs out. He soon took over and kept on strongly in the final furlong to sweep in by three lengths for Joseph O'Brien and owners Sean and Bernardine Mulryan. Outlaw Man (4/1) took second and he was six lengths clear of Flanker Jet (13/8).

Jockey Scott McCullagh said: "The word in the camp was that they were quite pleased that he had stepped forward from his first day and it was a lovely effort.

"He hit the line well, got a nice feel off him there today. It was very straightforward.

"Got the box seat, got to control the race and kicked when I wanted.

"I don't think he has to go any further yet. I think there is still plenty of improvement in him.

"Nice to get a winner for Joseph."
