"He got his jumping right. He galloped to the line which was very pleasing and we'll keep him at that trip for the time being. He is very hard on himself and mightn't be ready to go across the water just yet." Willie Mullins on Gentleman de Mee
In addition...
"The Arkle isn't foremost on my mind and I'll have a word with connections but the Flyingbolt Chase at Navan (March 5) is an option. We'll try and play a lower ball and try and win a Graded race at home."

As a small crumb of hope to cling on to..... 'connections' may have their own ideas, and are some of the more likely to enforce them!
As a backer though, I'm disappointed to read that.

Agreed he's a horse I've been sweet on all season when I saw he was entered today for his third run after been scratched from the Arkle I thought all roads pointed to here.
Capper ain't going to take kindly to beating the runner up 30L who's ran with enough ability this year to take a dim view, coupled with Mullins post race quotes it prob doesn't matter.... GENTLEMAN DE MEE did that very well and we will probably keep him at that trip. I imagine he is one we will keep at home for the nicer prizes - Willie Mullins, trainer

Willie doesnt seek to run his novice chasers in Festival handicaps.
Its usually Grade 1 Novice Chases or skip the Festival.
He hasnt ran a Novice Chaser in a Handicap there since he ran one in 2016

Gentleman De Mee
Willie interviewed on Racing TV 2 minutes ago, mentioned the Flying Bolt Grade 3 at Navan on March 5th for him, over 2M4F, more likely than coming to Cheltenham
Agreed.
The one he may run, given profile and connections.
Is Ciel de Neige.
especially if he runs at Punchestown at the weekend giving weight away.
Not sure how good his mark would be though, but anything around the 145 or below would be competitive.

Thats the only one I have been interested in from the stable for a handicap chase - mostly because its a JP horse, and he has good chase form and good Cheltenham form.
Went to back him for the Grand Annual 2 weeks ago, then had to stop myself as I realised the Mullins-Handicap Chase error of my ways.

Yeah, I still doubt he'll run but would want to be on his side at the right prices if they did enter here or the plate.
