Hexham returns from it's winter hiatus, but with significant snowfall and plenty of rain earlier in the month conditions will be as testing as ever for the 4-miler, with the potential for a race which will take fast approaching 10 minutes to run. The majority of these have the required attributes to handle a slog including the 2012 Eider Chase winner Portrait King. Itstimeforapint was a game ¾L winner of this contest in 2016, whilst Kilcullen Flem has a chance for the in-form Phil Kirby based upon his November 3m success. However, 2017 race favourite FINAGHY AYR lost little in defeat to a subsequent winner at Ayr latest, and receives weight from all of his rivals.
