THE CONDITIONAL had an excellent first season with David Bridgwater in 2019/20 and looks set for another productive campaign judged on his promising third in the Ladbrokes Trophy on his reappearance, so appeals as the most solid option. Espoir de Guye is up 6 lb for his latest success but still may have more to offer, while Regal Encore can never be one to take lightly at this venue.
