Tony McCoy has suggested there is a chance More Of That could make an early reappearance in next Saturday's bet365 (West Yorkshire) Hurdle at Wetherby.

The champion jockey gave the unbeaten Ladbrokes World Hurdle title-holder a spin for a circuit around Chepstow before racing and was pleased with the gelding's progress.

"It was just the job to give him a day out. He's a big, gross horse and it's a matter of getting him fit," said McCoy.

"It's not an impossibility he'd run next Saturday. He's getting there, and either he or At Fishers Cross could go to Wetherby."

At Fishers Cross, also owned by JP McManus, finished third to More Of That at the Cheltenham Festival and went on to run smartly at Aintree and Punchestown.

He also did a lap of the South Wales track with a stablemate and trainer Rebecca Curtis said: "That was great, and should hopefully put him spot-on for next weekend."

Paul Nicholls brought a large handful of his better-known names to use the track, with stable jockey Sam Twiston-Davies partnering Hennessy runner-up and Grand National fifth Rocky Creek and Harry Derham the King George winner Silviniaco Conti.

Nicholls said: "It was good of Chepstow to let us come here and they've had a good workout and ran all the way to the line.

"Rocky Creek is hopefully going to Down Royal next weekend and Silviniaco Conti to the Charlie Hall, as I want to get a run into him before the Betfair Chase.

"Zarkandar is going to run in a valuable three-mile hurdle at Auteuil next weekend, while Lac Fontana looks a little behind and will need two or three more weeks."
