Last year's inaugural running of this valuable novice was won by a useful sort and this looks an interesting renewal. Expensive pointer SWINDON VILLAGE created a good impression when beating a subsequent winner last time and remains capable of better over this longer trip. He's preferred to Moneygarrow who has some solid graded form and shapes as though he'll appreciate the step up to 3m, while They Call Me Hugo has scope to improve following his narrow defeat in a Grade 2 at Cheltenham.

Race Hints
Specific Pace Hint: This could develop into a sprint for home, and Moneygarrow could be well placed to capitalise: Of the better-fancied horses, They Call Me Hugo is most likely to be ridden furthest from the pace.
