Pandorama among 80 entries for National Hunt Chase

Noel Meade's Pandorama is the stand-out name in an 80-strong entry for this year's National Hunt Chase Challenge Cup at Cheltenham on Wednesday, March 17.

The seven-year-old is a dual Grade One winner over fences this season and is one of the leading hopes for the RSA Chase on the same day.

Meade has also entered Sigma Lifestyle, while Willie Mullins has Cousin Vinny, Apt Approach and Shakervilz amongst his sextet.

Jonjo O'Neill has won the race five times and his Theatrical Moment, favourite for the Sky Bet Chase this weekend, will have plenty of supporters if he takes his chance.

Paul Nicholls' Inchidaly Rock, due to run in the Argento Chase this weekend, could be joined by stablemates Forest Pennant and Massasoit.

Nigel Twiston-Davies landed last year's renewal with Tricky Trickster and has this year entered Pettifour and Jaunty Journey.
