Jonjo O'Neill is hoping an appearance in Sandown's Betfred TV Scilly Isles Novices' Chase on February 6 will provide More Of That with some more valuable experience.
The 2014 World Hurdle winner has been flawless over fences in two starts this season, sparking talk of a possible Gold Cup bid.
While those plans have been shelved, O'Neill is still excited about the future.
"He's in good form, we're hoping to run him in the Scilly Isles at Sandown and hopefully that will be it before Cheltenham if everything goes well," he told Racing UK.
"I think we were all getting carried away, me included, when talking about the Gold Cup. When we all sat down and talked about it we thought, as a novice he can go for the two-and-a-half-mile (JLT) or the RSA, which is probably what he'll go for so we decided to be sensible.
"We were thrilled with him before his first run, he'd schooled brilliantly from day one. We were confident, the only thing that worried me was when he came under pressure heading to the second-last because he'd had a wind operation but it didn't seem to bother him at all.
"His next race was a Mickey Mouse race really, a non-event, but he jumped well and did his job, we were all happy.
"Then the ground came really bad and I didn't want to run him as he's a good mover so we decided to leave him all January and take him to Sandown.
"It's experience I'm trying to get into him, really."
Stablemate Taquin Du Seuil remains on course for the Festival, despite having initially been ruled out for the campaign earlier in the season.
"He's coming along really well and hopefully he'll get to Cheltenham," said O'Neill.
"Ideally I'd like to run him before but we'll see, it would be great if we could but if not we'll do plenty at home, I'd be happy going fresh.
"I'd say it will be the two-and-a-half-mile handicap (Brown Advisory Plate) for him."
