GEVREY looks pretty versatile trip-wise and could be the answer to a tricky-looking contest. He wasn't disgraced in a Class handicap chase off a 4 lb higher mark at Perth recently and gets the nod ahead of Bold Enough, who wasn't disgraced in a valuable event over 22.5f when last seen in July and will be a threat if coping with this drop in trip. Jeremys Flame and Kitty Galore are others to consider.
