Grands Crus has not been ruled out of a clash with Long Run and Kauto Star in the Betfair Chase at Haydock on Saturday.
One of the highest-rated hurdlers to be sent over fences in recent times, the six-year-old grey made a seamless transition to his new discipline at Cheltenham on Friday.
A decision on whether he will be confirmed for the first Grade One chase competed for in Britain this season will be made on Monday morning.
Trainer David Pipe said: "He's come out of the race well and it was a great start for him over fences.
"Whether we confirm him for the Betfair will not be decided until Monday morning - I'll speak to the owners. There are plenty of options for him."
