A typical Hexham big-field low grade 3m handicap chase in which reliability isn't generally a pre-requisite to competition. The fact that Notonebuttwo was able to win a similar contest over 2m4f last weekend pretty much sums up one's chances of nailing the winner. He refused to race over this trip previously and the suspicion that the starting position (near to the stables) had something to do with that is a concern. The likes of Johnny Go, Mo Rouge and Heart of Annandale are all worthy of consideration, but a chance is taken with the out of form DAMIEN'S DILEMMA. He handles this track well enough, and at decent odds is taken to follow up his 2016 victory.
