The 2022 Gold Cup winner is likely to miss the Betfair Chase.
A Plus Tard is unlikely to compete in the Betfair Chase at Haydock later this month, according to Cheveley Park Stud director Richard Thompson.
However, a disappointing defence of his Haydock crown set the tone for a lacklustre campaign last term, pulling up on his return to Cheltenham before finishing a well-beaten third at Aintree.Trainer Henry de Bromhead has again entered A Plus Tard for the Betfair Chase on November 25, but Thompson feels that may be a big ask on his first run back.
“He’s had a few issues, as everyone knows. I think those are sorted now, hopefully, and he’ll be out soon, but the Betfair Chase may be a bit of a stretch for him as it’s only two weeks away.”
