Fred & Mercy Rimell Memorial Handicap Chase (GBB Race)

Off time: 13:13 | Winning time: 4m 10.38s

Barnpark^t¹⁶³

Age: 6| Weight: 12-0| J: C J Todd| T: D Skelton| OR: 120

12/1

Point winner who shaped with promise all 3 starts under Rules for Gavin Cromwell, fourth of 12 in novice hurdle at Killarney (2½m) in May. Since joined Dan Skelton but drop back in trip isn't an obvious move now chasing.

Form: 134-4

Kool Kid²¹⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-7| J: Brendan Powell| T: J Tizzard| OR: 113| D

6/1

Bumper winner on Rules debut and ended 2025/26 on the up, supplementing his Plumpton hurdles win over fences at the same track in March (17f). Second that day won next time and he's open to further progress this season.

No Tackle²¹⁴

Age: 9| Weight: 11-6| J: Liam Harrison| T: R L Llewellyn| OR: 112| BF

33/1

Left reappearance run behind when scoring in decisive fashion at Lingfield in November and has found just one too good on each of his next 3 starts. Slight backward step at Bangor in March (3m) and he may just need the run down markedly in trip minus headgear.

Form: 712223-

Albie Littlewood²⁷²

Age: 7| Weight: 11-6| J: Harry Skelton| T: D Skelton| OR: 112

5/1

Progressive form over hurdles last season, tanking along and winning with plenty in hand for second handicap win at Huntingdon in January. Sure to be well prepared for this chase debut/reappearance and the choice of Harry Skelton.

Form: 8/86511-

Jamada¹⁵⁹

Age: 6| Weight: 11-2| J: S Bowen| T: O Murphy| OR: 108| D

4/1

Bumper winner in Ireland who got off the mark for current yard in 2m maiden hurdle at Fakenham in April. Backed it up with a good third of 10 on handicap debut at Aintree (17f, good) in May when last seen and should make his mark over fences for leading yard.

Form: 25231-3

Reinado³³⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Jack Tudor| T: N P Mulholland| OR: 106| D

16/1

Showed ability for Colm Murphy in Ireland and built on the promise of his Ffos Las run (still in contention when falling) when successful on heavy ground at Uttoxeter in November. Unpenalised and followed up at Chepstow a week later but off the track since. Chasing debut.

Form: 656F11-

Kelijoe¹⁴

Age: 6| Weight: 11-0| J: Charlie Hammond| T: S Edmunds| OR: 106| BF

15/8

Fairly useful French bumper winner who took a Doncaster novice handicap hurdle in December. In the process of demolishing his rivals on chasing debut at Uttoxeter (2½m) in March when rather unfortunate to depart 2 out. Jumping also an issue when second on reappearance here.

Form: 5514U-2

Modus Operendi^h1,t⁹⁶

Age: 4| Weight: 10-12| J: James Bowen| T: Deborah Cole| OR: 113

8/1

French recruit who didn't need to improve to get off the mark in 5-runner handicap chase at Dieppe (19f, soft) 96 days ago, going clear. First run for yard after leaving P. & C. Peltier and this is a deeper race.

Form: 8F2-21

Imperial Bede¹⁶

Age: 8| Weight: 10-10| J: Harry Cobden| T: J & A O'Neill| OR: 102| D

25/1

Scored at Catterick (19f) last season but has failed to convince with his finishing effort on the whole since. Goes down markedly in trip having been beaten very early at Stratford.

Form: 2-54436

Forecasts

Kelijoe (15/8), Jamada (4/1), Albie Littlewood (5/1), Kool Kid (6/1), Modus Operendi (8/1), Barnpark (12/1), Reinado (16/1), Imperial Bede (25/1), No Tackle (33/1)

This looks a strong race for the level with ALBIE LITTLEWOOD taken to pick up where he left off in the winter on chase debut for his leading stable. Kool Kid has experience over the larger obstacles and was also thriving when last seen, with Jamada another sure to be well prepared for this.
