All have a chance is a tight-looking contest with preference for EDMAAJ, who came good at Southwell last time and remains temptingly weighted. A decent sort on the Flat for the O'Meara team, it's taken a while for him to get the hang of the hurdling game but more is expected now he has that first victory under his belt. Ginger Fizz moves into handicap company for the first time after just three starts over timber but he's in good form, looks on the up and represents the danger. Overpriced and Dormouse are exposed at the head of the weights and Chalk It Down looks a better bet having followed up a cosy win in a jumpers' bumper with a narrow Newton Abbot defeat.
