I'd want to see A Plus Tard attack the fences to be considered as a QM contender
Certainly has the potential to improve into one

[Pendil]

A Plus Tard generally improves about a stone for his first race. I have backed Ornua ew @ 20/1

Agreed. Watching back his races, when you compare him to Min in the Ryanair and more so CPS over Christmas, there were times where they made a length or two at a fence where as APT is more efficient and just gets himself over. His jumping doesn't really cost him. But it's an area that others could take advantage from.

[Jorvik]

Don't think APT will be troubling this thread too much based on that, very hesitant and mediocre jumping all round.

[opatcho]

Well

Jumping, sketchy. A Plus Tard is becoming one of those horse you will to win, but will let you down
Yeah, expect to come on from the run but QM winner?... struggling to see it

[FinalFurlong91]

Chacun must've been 50% fit when A plus tard beat him

jumping was awful today

[Can't Catch Me]

Couldn't have him on my mind for any race at the Festival myself. He's no 2 miler and won't be good enough for the Ryanair or GC

[Lobos]

He looked terrible in his first run last year remember guys.........

[opatcho]

He did, and I expect him to improve... but I'm not seeing any improvement in his jumping

His jumping in the Novice Handicap Chase wasn't too shabby. Maybe he does need to go up in trip now. With Allaho going Ryanair Cheveley Park may well just want a runner in the GC.

He was dodgy in the Ryanair, hesitates too much
Hard to place him

Agree. Not backed him for anything and won't be.
