The Eider Chase at Newcastle and Racing Post chase (or Betbright Chase as its now called) at Kempton. We can use this thread for getting some opinions.

Baie Des Iles is one horse that interests me in The Eider. Like a couple of good horses, in Champagne West and Empire Of Dirt, she beat the decent yardstick Bonny Kate last time at Punchestown. She's quite lightly raced since she came from France, where she also had some good form. The fifth in the Welsh National behind Native River was another solid run. She's third in the betting now at around the 11/1 mark.

I'd love to see Tea For Two defy the weight at Kempton. Although Double Shuffle is a danger rated 149 receiving weight.

I'll end up backing T42 but I don't fear Double Shuffle as much as those at the bottom of the handicap, especially the Tom George thing that was 3rd last year.

Went against Double Shuffle with Opening Batsman in the end, no doubt this decision will bite me on the arse. )

A tentative choice, as is Out Sam in the Eider.
