THERE are two big betting mediums this weekend, at Newcastle and Kempton Park respectively, namely the Betting.bet Eider Chase (2.08) at the Gosforth Park track and the Coral Trophy Handicap Chase (3.37) formerly the Racing Post Chase at the Sunbury-On-Thames course.

However, the latter, although offering a valuable top prize and through the placings as well, has only attracted a very disappointing 12 runners of which about half would not have wanted to see the very wet weather around the region in the past week.

That means despite the free draining nature of the track that we are likely to experience pretty testing going this afternoon at Kempton Park.
