Last season's World Hurdle hero More Of That is likely to start off his campaign at either Newbury or Ascot.
Trainer Jonjo O'Neill had hoped to take him to Wetherby for the West Yorkshire Hurdle, but the lightly-raced six-year-old is unlikely to be ready in time.
Instead, the Long Distance Hurdle at Newbury on Hennessy Gold Cup day and the Long Walk Hurdle at Ascot are under consideration.
"He's come back in in great form, very strong. He's a big horse and I just hope we can keep him right for the World Hurdle again," O'Neill said.
"He seems in grand shape and I'm looking forward to getting going with him again. He's a pleasure to have around, he's not flash but always there at the end.
"We were thinking about going chasing, but he has a few little problems and that made our minds up as they try harder over fences. We thought it might be easier to keep him sound over hurdles.
"We were thinking of Wetherby but I'd say he might just take a bit longer so it will probably be Newbury or Ascot. He'll tell us really, I'd like to go to Wetherby but if he's not right he won't go."
