Rememberwhat²⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr J Flood⁽⁷⁾| T: P G Fahey

9/1

Elusive Pimpernel gelding who showed no shortage of ability in finishing in the frame in 14-runner bumper at Kilbeggan (2m) on debut last month and is bound to be suited by this longer trip.

Form: 4

Tis Well For Some

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: Mr A P Ryan⁽⁵⁾| T: Peter Fahey

7/1

Idaho gelding. Half-brother to numerous winners, including bumper winner/smart hurdler Royal Kahala and useful hurdler/chaser Collectors Item. Dam unraced half-sister to bumper winner/useful hurdler (stayed 25f) Lord Generous out of top-class 2½m-3m hurdle winner Lady Rebecca. Lot to like on paper.

€20,000 5-y-o, Workforce mare. Dam, lightly raced in bumpers/over hurdles, half-sister to fairly useful hurdler/useful staying chaser The Bunny Boiler. Runner-up both starts in points (latest Mar 2026) and now switches to Rules for good yard.

Loves A Laugh

Age: 4| Weight: 11-3| J: Miss H Ross⁽⁷⁾| T: S R B Crawford

25/1

Vadamos filly. Dam (c133/h123), 19f-3m hurdle/chase winner, half-sister to fair hurdler/useful chase winner (around 2m) Cool Quest. Yard more than capable of readying one in this sphere, so needs a close look in the betting.

Forecasts

Payslip (5/2), Its Time For A Run (3/1), Be My Fortune (11/2), Optical Illusion (11/2), Tis Well For Some (7/1), Rememberwhat (9/1), Seamy Appletart (16/1), Loves A Laugh (25/1), Poets Walk Paris (40/1), Breezingwithdstars (125/1)

TIS WELL FOR SOME has a very attractive pedigree and is selected to make a winning start before market clues. Rememberwhat showed plenty of ability when fourth of 14 on his Kilbeggan debut last month and is sure to be suited by the longer trip, while Be My Fortune and Payslip are two other Rules debutants to note having shown some promise in points.
