        • Gordon Elliott on DOWN MEMORY LANE: "Derek was very happy but look it wasn't a wonderful race on paper, so you would be disappointed if he didn't do that. I liked what I saw there. "We'll get him home and see how he is and make a plan, I think we'll stick to two miles at the moment. "He has loads of boot and Derek seemed to be fairly happy, and he doesn't say much, so he looks a good one."

            Presume the stick to two miles comment means that he’ll head to the royal bond now. Hopefully lawlors of naas then after

                  I wouldn't be sure DML will do the same, he's a very strong traveller at 2m and if winning the Royal Bond in the same well travelling style throughout, I expect he'll stick to 2m.

                  Would absolutely be covering the Supreme with him if I hadn't already

                          So you’re saying he’ll get further?

                            • Not sure they'd be in any rush to up ile atlantique in trip. Has a good cruising speed and seems and uncomplicated ride, a soft ground supreme could be his ideal race if good enough.

                                I probably wasn’t going fast at the first which was the only resemblance of a mistake he made. He covers a lot of ground and I was a passenger from there," said Townend.

                                “I think there is plenty to work on. It was a very good performance on ground that heavy it will find any hole in you. He’d good bumper form and is a lovely horse going forward.

                                “His jumping is a big asset to him.”
