A Plus Tard will face a maximum of five rivals when he bids to retain his Betfair Chase crown at Haydock Park on November 19.

The Henry de Bromhead-trained star went from Merseyside to Leopardstown last year and then to Cheltenham for the Gold Cup, where he triumphed in brilliant style in the hands of Rachael Blackmore.
