Eider Chase free bets and offers for racing this weekend

THE demanding Eider Chase returns this weekend with the 2024 renewal the big race on Saturday.

The 4m 1 1/2f contest has been won the past two years by target specialist Christian Williams but he doesn’t have any runners here, though it’s likely to throw up some National clues.

Preview of the Eider Chase Day at Newcastle

The weather looks set to play ball in the North East this weekend, meaning the current heavy ground could firm up slightly ahead of the Eider Chase.

A total of 25 fences lie in wait across the 4m 1 1/2f test – which serves as the perfect Grand National trial.

Aintree hero Comply Or Die won this race here in 2008 before heading over the famous fences for glory just a couple of months later.

There’s also the possibly of clues for other Nationals across Britain.

Williams’ Kitty’s Light made headlines last year when winning this race and following up it with Scottish Grand National success at Ayr.

Not content with just that double, they would then complete the hat trick just one week later, taking the bet365 Gold Cup at Sandown.

Anglers Crag comes here on the back of his own hat trick and is a worthy favourite for Brian Ellison.

He only had a hurdle win to his name under David Pipe before moving stables, with Ellison getting an almighty tune out him, winning all three starts over fences since the move.

Fenland Tiger for Sam and Jonathan England looks the closest challenger with Gold Clermont well-supported ahead of several others at single figure prices.
