Formscan - STRICTLY TANGO found only a subsequent winner too strong over 2m1f at Carlisle on his handicap debut recently and, nudged up 3lb, he looks the one to side with in a bid to go one place better this time around. This represents an ease in grade for handicap debutant Lightningupourdays, whose form to date over hurdles reads particularly well in the context of this event, while Don Virginia is open to improvement having shaped well on his handicapping bow in October.
