Credit card for 'fair' credit score

in Credit cards
Hello,
Just wondering if anyone can advise me. I have a few outstanding credit arrangments- nothing major and I have had a few problems in the past-luckily all behind me. I have built up my credit score with a sub prime card (Aqua) and and catalogue and have just checked my score and it's up to the top end of 'Fair' now (around 800) which is a big improvement. I want to apply for a credit card for me to move my small balances too but obviously don't want a decline to go onto my searches. Does anyone know what would be the best card to go for given I have a 'fair' credit score?
Thanks

First, stop paying for your credit "score" from the agencies as they are worthless. Secondly, try https://letmechoose.barclaycard.co.uk/HelpMeChoose.aspx as it may give you a good idea of what Barclaycards you are eligible for.0
