The Fox one might work. Cable barrel is at the seatpost end on both GD and Fox. I don't know if the cable pull would be enough though.

The Fox is also available in a Left-hand (1×) format or a Right-hand (2/3x) format so take your pick.

This. I converted an old XT shifter. Took about 30 mins, and worked a treat.

I have one of those. Used it on my KS and Thomson. I really like the Wolftooth one but not for nearly 50 quid more! The bonty one has been great.

Wolftooth LA one on my Fox Transfer - expensive, but works very well and very Light Action indeed..

that bonty one looks great but the wrong way round for me. I want it under bar on the right hand side. Maybe I'll consider swapping it to the other side.
Thanks guys.
