THEY CALL ME HUGO struck at the first time of asking under Rules at Ffos Las and then took a major step forward when pipped in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham's December meeting. If progressing again, he should claim this prize and possibly even book his ticket for something like the Albert Bartlett. Swindon Village made it second-time lucky over hurdles at Leicester and the runner-up has boosted the form by going one better. Moneygarrow also accounted for a subsequent winner when successful at Warwick and should be in the thick of the action too.

GAMESTERS GUY turned over a red-hot favourite in a Doncaster match and is expected to have a lot more to offer. The seven-year-old has been set some stiff assignments in his relatively short career to date, but hasn't done a great deal wrong. He is preferred to Guard The Moon, who made a race-ending blunder at Newbury following a successful chasing bow and it is that Aintree display which makes him of interest. King Of Answers put an ordinary first effort over fences behind him when going in at Kelso, although he will find this a lot tougher.

BE AWARE had the unenviable task of chasing home Lulamba in the Henry VIII but he stuck to his guns well and although expected to be most effective over further, he possesses the necessary pace for this task. Alnilam's jumping let him down in that Sandown Grade 1, and again in the Wayward Lad at Kempton when Hansard was a couple of positions ahead of him in second. No Questions Asked could only manage third when sent off favourite for an Ascot Grade 2, but he travelled well and is interesting now back at 2m.

ALFIE'S PRINCESS was returning from a lengthy break when winning over this trip at Wincanton on Boxing Day and Sam Thomas' mare can follow up here, despite a 5lb rise. Hollygrove Cha Cha also struck on her most recent outing and she could prove to be the main threat to the selection. Largy Force and Bluey are others who are capable of going very well.

All of these have claims, but none more so than last year's winner NEMEAN LION. Kerry Lee's gelding also claimed the National Spirit at Fontwell and was far from disgraced when a close third in the Fighting Fifth on his return in November. That level of form may well be good enough, although Potters Charm should not be discounted back at this sort of trip. The seven-year-old ran well in the Long Walk and this is arguably his easiest task in quite a while. Take No Chances is another who may be better off now dropped back from 3m.

Dan Skelton saddles a quarter of the field and, on jockey bookings, Live Conti would appear the main hope, although he raced far too keenly on his return in a valuable handicap at Ascot. Great Fleet, who has proven versatile with regards to distance, and LISTENTOYOURHEART both make plenty of appeal and it is the latter who gets the vote following a tough success here over 2m4f on New Year's Day. Heidi Palin's 7lb claim negates her 5lb rise and that effort suggested she had more in the locker. Wilful won the aforementioned Ascot contest just before Christmas and isn't discounted off 7lb higher, while the progressive Saligo Bay deserves his chance in a race of this nature.

Hold Up La Colmine finished third in this contest 12 months ago and returned to Windsor with a wide-margin success in November. That said, his jumping wasn't particularly fluent and a bigger field could find him out. The vote goes to AS THE FELLA SAYS, who is the sole runner on the card for Nicky Henderson and has taken well to fences, placing at Southwell and Cheltenham. The drop in trip seems ideal judged on the latter display, as his finishing effort petered out on the run-in, and the seven-year-old has every chance of giving Nico de Boinville a winner on his return. Impatient, Westerninthepark and Joe Cotton are others to consider.
