Tout Est Permis (1/1), Goose Man (2/1), Top Moon (9/4), Monbeg Notorious (4/1), Call It Magic (16/1), Dorking Cock (18/1), Crosshue Boy (50/1)

TOUT EST PERMIS showed signs of a revival when fourth in the Bobbyjo Chase last month and looks to have been found an excellent opportunity to end a losing run stretching back to early 2019. In-form course winner Goose Man rates the chief threat to Noel Meade's smart chaser, with Top Moon not taken lightly either if his stamina holds out over this much longer trip.
