1pt each-wayIF there’s one certainty about the Betfred Eider Chase (2.45) at Newcastle today it’s that it won’t be pretty.

A GoingStick reading of 3.8 suggests the ground is not far off as bad as it was in 2011 when Companero had just enough energy to climb over the last for a 30-length win from Giles Cross, who also just about managed to clear the final obstacle. Only one other horse finished and that one was originally pulled up.

A similar scenario is likely today, so any firms offering extra places might get away with it!
