A Plus Tard could have the chance to atone for his Haydock disappointment in the Savills Chase at Leopardstown, with Henry de Bromhead's Cheltenham Gold Cup hero amongst the 11 entries for the December 28 contest.
It was when winning the Christmas Grade One in 2020 that the eight-year-old first announced himself as a leading player in the staying division and although having to settle for second behind stablemate Minella Indo at Prestbury Park later that season, he got his crowning moment earlier this year when romping away with the blue riband in the hands of Rachael Blackmore.
