I see Down Memory Lane has an entry after missing a chunk of the season. Has there been word as to what has been wrong?
I'm very happy at that. I tried all avenues to find out what happened to him but not a word.
Controversial opinion - assuming they go chasing (highly likely), he's the one novice chaser I think could give Ballyburn a race next season. He'll need a trip next season I'd say.

I'm hoping he could still turn out to be Gordon's main Turners horse so easier decision for Brighterdaysahead in the Mares.
Willie Mullins will send El Fabiolo to tackle Sandown's Celebration Chase on April 27 as he chases the British jumps trainers' crown – and he could... Read More
A very big statement..... considering he didn't get an entry
Ahhh, ok. Read it wrong then unless they are going to supplement him ??. Wondered why he wasn't quoted in the market. He and El Fabiolo won't go to Sundown unless he's facing them off early which would be fantastic but a huge surprise at the same time. Clearly believes that GE is the real deal though over 2 by the sounds of it.
Yep, Celebration Chase or the novice at Punch is how I read it as well.
Be great if they both went to Sandown, be worth the entrance just them two.
Won't happen unfortunately.
With El Fabiolo and Jonbon going Sandown, Dinoblue has a serious chance in the Champion Chase at Punchestown. She'll stick to 2 miles now after getting outstayed at Cheltenham.

Tad harsh on Dinoblue I’d say, dont think it was as simple as outstayed Imo.
Poor ride, giving 5lbs were more contributing factors for me. I wasn’t sure she would stay but she certainly did.

Obvious that she was ridden like a non Stayer to me and she just didn't have it at the finish to get past a horse that on ratings she should have beaten comfortably. They must be regretting not going for the Champion Chase as she'd have won that comfortably IMO. If Jonbon steps up in distance next season to the Ryanair then she'd be a very able substitute for JP. 2 miles is definitely her mojo.
Beaten by the ride Dinoblue. Best horse in the race and stayed the trip no issues.
Personally think great ride to get her that close. Just run out of gas at the end. If he'd have had her closer earlier she'd have faded right out of it.
