He did both, so that was good," said O'Meara."He's not a horse you can run too often, so he may go for something over Christmas or in the new year, then go for something like the County Hurdle."You'll have to look at races like the Totesport Trophy, Imperial Cup and County Hurdle."O'Meara also recently introduced a promising recruit in Chancery, who earnt a Timeform rating of 100 when making a winning debut in a bumper at Haydock on Friday."He was a bit green on the day but to win like he did he must be OK," added the North Yorkshire-based handler."Sometimes you don't know what to make of these three-year-old bumpers first time out, but they can only beat what's there."He'll have another run in a bumper, whether it be at Wetherby or at Cheltenham on New Year's Day."
