Verdict
Down Memory Lane made his debut at Umma House in October and had no problems recording a comfortable success. He has joined Gordon Elliott and will be supported to make a successful debut under Rules though MISTER PINK has a superb pedigree. He's out of a mare who has produced winners with her first three offspring to race, including two bumpers. Park Annonciade was sent to Wetherby for his debut and started favourite but ran very green in the closing stages. Bective Bridge may do best of the remainder.
