Jonjo O'Neill is leaning towards sending former World Hurdle winner More Of That to Newbury on Saturday for his next start over fences.

Although plans remain fluid, the Jackdaws Castle handler is favouring a step back up in trip for a three-mile novice chase at the Berkshire track for the eight-year-old, who is second favourite for next month's RSA Chase at the Cheltenham Festival.

The JP McManus-owned gelding has impressed in both his starts to date since being switched to fences after registering back-to-back wins at Cheltenham.

O'Neill said: "I've entered More Of That for a graduation chase at Kempton on Friday and I will enter him on Monday for Newbury on Saturday.

"He will probably head to Newbury on Saturday. It depends on the ground, but that is most likely where he will go. He seems in good order."
