Georgian Bay made a promising debut for Ado McGuinness at the Curragh last weekend after arriving from the UK and will be winning again soon. Tony The Gent was staying on strongly when just half-a-length behind Band Of Outlaws in a premier handicap on the same Curragh card though Atlas, who finished a close fifth, didn't do much for the form at Leopardstown on Thursday. KATIYMANN has had a break since an excellent fourth in a Curragh handicap in May which has worked out very well. The assessor has surprisingly seen fit to drop him 3lb and he looks ready to win again. Beach Bar has won eight times and isn't badly treated on Turf, especially with his young rider's claim taken into account.
