Coral has introduced Magnanimity into their RSA Chase betting following the seven-year-old's Killiney Novice Chase victory at Leopardstown on Sunday. 

The beaten favourite in the Grade Two contest, Jessies Dream, has been eased in the betting for the Festival race.

After the race, Dessie Hughes, trainer of Magnanimity, admitted that the horse could be on his way to the 2011 Cheltenham Festival: "I don't think he likes being in front because he's a lazy sort of horse but he did it well. He warmed up to it.

"At Leopardstown when you jump the last it is a long way up that hill so I hadn't given up. He's 100% honest.

"We'll go for the Dr PJ Moriarty Chase next and he will have an entry in the RSA Chase at Cheltenham

"He'll go for the decent staying novice chases, but he doesn't like good ground."
