Sky Bet possible target for Glenquest Glenquest, agonisingly beaten in the Welsh Grand National over Christmas, is among 45 entries for the Sky Bet Chase at Doncaster on January 24. Having jumped the last looking the likely winner at Chepstow, Stuart Crawford's 12-year-old was caught in the final strides and had to settle for third. "We don't have any firm plans for Glenquest. We will probably look at one of the better staying chasers in the spring and that could be something like a Scottish or Irish National. He probably won't be rated high enough to get in at Aintree," said Crawford. "We will definitely take a look at the Sky Bet Chase on the way because that is a really good prize in its own right and that is why we have put him in there. "Glenquest has come out of Chepstow very well. He deserves a big one as he has been second in a Troytown, fourth in a Paddy Power at Leopardstown and obviously the good run in the Welsh National. "He has been knocking on the door and, although he is getting on, with a bit of luck we would be hopeful that he could pick up a nice one this season." Crawford has also entered Yes Tom, who ran a bold race in the Scottish National in the spring. "We will also look at the Sky Bet with Yes Tom but whereas Glenquest will cope with most ground, he wants nice ground," said Crawford. "The ground was quite tacky when Yes Tom ran in the Scottish National and I would say it was that rather than the trip that did not suit him." The sponsors have installed Paul Nicholls' Easter Day and the Philip Hobbs-trained If In Doubt as 12-1 joint-favourites. Hobbs' Royal Player and the Nicholls duo of Just A Par and Mon Parrain also figure prominently. Godsmejudge, Present View, Attaglance, Night In Milan, Alvarado and Hey Big Spender are among others to have the option.
