Kieran Cotter is off the mark with his two-year-olds.

Portarlington's Kieran Cotter is up and running with his 2-year-old string.

Ocean Vision recovered from dwelling slightly from the stalls to overcome greeness close home at Dundalk last evening at odds of 14/1.

He beat a well fancied Aidan O'Brien runner to the valuable €15,000 pot.

✅ Lots to like about the winning effort of Ocean Vision (U S Navy Flag) who does the business at the first time of asking for Jake Coen & Kieran Cotter in the @IrishEBF_ Median Sires Series Maiden at @DundalkStadium pic.twitter.com/f6QrKH85bz

Pilot Jake Cohen would later double up on the night, but never had to get truly serious with his mount, keeping the shillelagh to himself throughout.

The son of US Navy Flag becomes the first winner for the well thought of Coolmore sire.

Cotter has no fancy entries for the colt but it would be no surprise to see him pitched in deeper waters next time out.
