Gatsby eyes Curragh return The Grey Gatsby has been earmarked to begin his season at the Curragh in May after trainer Kevin Ryan resisted the urge to send him back to Dubai. Ryan had considered a return to Meydan, this time for the mile-and-a-half Sheema Classic, for the consistent five-year-old after he chased home Solow in the Dubai Turf 12 months ago. The son of Mastercraftsman will instead be kept under wraps for a few more months, with the Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh - a race in which he was fourth last year - a possible first objective. The Grey Gatsby is then likely to head to Royal Ascot for a repeat bid in the Prince of Wales's Stakes after he finished a short-head second to Free Eagle last summer. Ryan said: "We've decided that it (Dubai) would come too early in the year for him. "He's in great form - he's wintered really well - but we'll probably start him off at the Curragh before Ascot. "If we start later with him, hopefully we'll be able to keep him going for longer."
