2025 Eider Chase Trends
The Eider Chase is run over a gruelling 4m1f trip at Newcastle racecourse and is a handicap race that is seen as another key Grand National trial ahead of the big Liverpool race the following month. In recent years the David Pipe-trained Comply Or Die (2008) is the most recent example of the winner of this race going onto land the Merseyside Marathon that same season.
Did you know – 18 of the last 20 winners were aged 10 or younger, while 12 of the last 20 successful horses were Irish bred.
We take a look back at recent winners and give you all the key trends and stats to take into the 2025 renewal – this year run on Saturday 22nd February.
