Jonjo O'Neill has stated the RSA Chase is looking the most likely Cheltenham Festival target for More Of That.

The JP McManus-owned eight-year-old also holds entries in the JLT Novices' Chase and the Ryanair World Hurdle, a race he won in 2014, but connections are "leaning towards" the three-mile Grade One on March 16.

More Of That has been restricted to just two starts over fences this term, both at Cheltenham, but he has impressed each time to maintain his unbeaten record at Prestbury Park.

O'Neil said: "More Of That is in good form at home. I am delighted and thrilled to bits with him.

"We are leaning towards the RSA, although he is also in the JLT and World Hurdle.

"We are looking at going that way. Nobody has told me anything has changed but that is not for me to decide.

"We will see what's what, but in every conversation we've had I imagine that is the way he is going.

"He is a lovely, sensible horse that is very straightforward and I am lucky to have him.

"If he turns up there the same way he did for the World Hurdle he will take some beating."
