The grey would use the race as a stepping stone for the Betfair Chase at his favourite track Haydock.
The Nigel Twiston-Davies trained seven-year-old would use the Grade 2 prize early in November as a starting point, providing he gets the soft underfoot conditions required.
Anthony Bromley, racing manager to owners Isaac Souede and Simon Munir, said: "Bristol De Mai ran well on his last run of the season at Aintree against Might Bite. It was nice to get a solid run into him at a high level.
"The plan at the moment is to go for the Charlie Hall, then hopefully head to the Betfair Chase again. After that I'm not sure where we go, as we haven't made any other plans.
"He is very much ground dependent. We wouldn't want to run him on good to firm ground and if he doesn't get to Wetherby he will have to go to the Betfair Chase first time up."
It could provide Jumps fans with an early season thriller with Thistlecrack also reportedly on course for his comeback run at Wetherby.
