It has taken some time to get the best from SOI COWBOY but Paul Flynn finally worked the oracle at Kilbeggan when the son of Central Park scored under a lovely hold-up ride from Denis O'Regan. He's up 7lb as a result but did appear to win with something in hand so is taken to score again now he's rediscovered the winning habit. Marshalled is almost certainly going to pop up sooner or later such is his consistency and he's a leading threat in first-time cheekpieces. An Marcach disappointed last time but that was a rare blip and he merits consideration under Rachael Blackmore with recent winner My Oakclahome another contender for prize money.
