Fighting Fit (6/4), Gevrey (11/4), Alice Avril (9/1), Jack Hackett (9/1), Arahecan (11/1), Carrigmoorna Pine (12/1), Espion Du Chenet (12/1), Stansfield (20/1), Benefit Run (33/1)

GEVREY's last couple of chase outings haven't got to the bottom of him and he's been handed an appealing mark based on hurdles form, so a chance is taken on him to make a winning switch to handicap chases at the likely expense of last-time-out winner Arahecan. Alice Avril is also worth considering.
