Dream Harder (G)
PT
Reacted well to a first-time tongue tie (added to regular cheekpieces) when getting up in the dying strides over 1½m at Epsom (good to firm) in July. Well behind Zimmerman on much more testing ground…

Spartan Times (G)
Won 4 times on the Flat in 2025. Made a winning return in a handicap hurdle in May and has been shaping up well on the Flat here lately. Likely to be on the premises again.

Carthusian (G)
Fair maiden at up to 17f in Ireland for Jessica Harrington. New stable picked him up for 15,500 gns last month. The betting should help guide expectations.

Melon (G) FAV
Has developed into a useful handicap hurdler since a Flat win in the mud at Haydock in autumn 2024. Presumably using this as a prep for a return to hurdles but could still be hard to beat.

Zimmerman (G)
PT
Back to form with a vengeance this month, completing a quick hat-trick with plenty to spare at Catterick (1¾m, good) 11 days ago. Raised 6 lb but he's won off higher marks before.

Won twice at Southwell in 2024 (including off a higher mark) but made the track only twice last season and hasn't featured in 2 outings for current yard. Headgear goes on. Best watched unless the bet…

Tabasko (F)
4/5, career best when winning 4-runner handicap at Lingfield (1¾m, firm) 46 days ago. Has form on softer than good and is less exposed than the majority of these.

Talka (F)
Fair form in 3 Flat outings at up to 15f in France earlier in the year. Unexposed handicap newcomer for whom the betting should help guide to expectations.

Undistinguished in 3 Flat runs for Andrew Balding and pulled up on hurdle debut for new yard in July. Has had a breathing operation ahead of this return to the Flat.

Risk Averse Rebel (C)
Remains winless but has placed on 4 of his last 5 starts, including over 10.3f here last Friday. Significantly up in trip. He's 4 lb out of the handicap so the likelihood is his wait for a first win …
