A Plus Tard spearheads De Bromhead squad, Klassical Dream set to face Flooring Porter.
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 28 December contest.
A Plus Tard was beaten a short head by Galvin in this race last year and the defending champion is one of three entered for the race by Gordon Elliott alongside Irish Gold Cup winner Conflated and Fury Road. However, the seven-year-old was well held on his seasonal reappearance in the Lismullen Hurdle as Home By The Lee caused a 28-1 upset.
He said: “He’s a strong stayer and the plan is to run at Leopardstown. We’re looking forward to it. He’s had a smooth preparation and this has always been the plan since Navan.”Reports From Qatar Get Gavin's exclusive writing and analysis from the 2022 Fifa World CupBob Olinger would be a fitting winner of the race named in honour of his trainer’s son Jack, who died in a pony racing accident earlier this year.
