Strictly Tango
Low-mileage 6yo who won Sedgefield maiden in October and was second to progressive rival on handicap debut at Carlisle (also 2m1f good to soft) the following month; below that form when last in action and has fitness to prove after five-month break but could have untapped potential over this trip and remains of interest.

Rewarded determined ride when staying on from unpromising position to win Hexham seller (2m, good) this month, his fifth hurdling success; will be fine over today's longer trip but faces tougher opposition in this handicap.

Final Edgar
Placed on two of his five starts this year, more recently when third of ten at Hexham (2m4f, good to soft) two runs ago; capable of making his presence felt again here but he disappointed when back at Hexham last month and has become very unreliable.

Lune De La Mer
Seems to have been aided by cheekpieces on recent outings and posted a sound effort when second (albeit no match for winner) at Bangor (2m3f, good) last month; ought to be on the premises again here.

1-11 over hurdles; returned from break with two respectable fourths at end of last season, the latter at Carlisle (2m3f, good) three weeks ago, and continues to edge down the weights; probably won't be far away.

Presenting Pete
Ran well on chasing debut in October but did not build on that performance afterwards and has been absent since unseating rider in December; reverts to hurdling on a workable mark and has a good-ground C&D win on his CV but others appeal more all the same.

Little Dipper
Unexposed 5yo who showed promise in two good-ground bumpers and in all three qualifying races over hurdles (2m-2m4f); made very underwhelming handicap debut when never-dangerous fourth of six at Bangor (2m, good) last month but moves back up in trip here and can't be written off just yet.
