Verdict
DOWN MEMORY LANE remains a very nice prospect, despite his heavy defeat in a Leopardstown Grade 1 when last seen in December 2023. The 6-y-o was a wide-margin winner of his sole start between the flags and could be a very useful chaser in the making. Nurburgring and King of Kingsfield are feared most in that order of preference, while Backtonormal is also of interest.
