Those with a full line of prices quoted in this market as of 22 January 2020 are:-
14/1 The Conditional
16/1 Glenloe
16/1 Copperhead
20/1 Kimberlite Candy
20/1 Vintage Clouds
20/1 Early Doors
20/1 Fitzhenry
25/1 bar
Some of the above have potential for other races too.
The Conditional is one that would appeal to run here, having failed to stay at Warwick over 3M5F last week.
Early Doors will most probably take in a Novice Chase at the Festival, and Fitzhenry May be fancied to chance his arm in the Kim Muir.
