O'Neill to run rule over More Of That More Of That is to be examined after losing his unbeaten record in the Long Distance Hurdle at Newbury on Saturday. Last season's Ladbrokes World Hurdle hero was a well-beaten third behind Medinas on his seasonal reappearance. Trainer Jonjo O'Neill admitted being disappointed at the performance, but not totally disconcerted. He said: "We're going to get him checked out and see how he goes. He ran reasonably well for a long way and it was his first run. "His wind was bothering him a little bit and hence the reason for putting a tongue strap on him in the heavy ground, trying to help him. "I didn't think he ran that bad - obviously we're disappointed to lose his unbeaten tag, that was a bit of a sickener. We'll get him checked out and see where we go. "He was in great form and good health going into the race. I have no proper excuse. "We'll try to get him back to go to Cheltenham (for the World Hurdle). That's the plan if we get him right." O'Neill is also going to have Merry King checked out after the staying handicap chaser was a highly creditable third to Many Clouds in the Hennessy Gold Cup. "He ran a great race. He jumped great and did everything right. He just tied up and didn't quite get home. Very pleased with him, a great effort," the Jackdaws Castle handler told At The Races. "We're going to have a look at him to see if he's got a bit of a wind problem and we won't be running him quick. "We'll give him a little break. We have no real plan at the moment, we're going to get him checked out this week and see where we go from there."
