Pandorama needs some cut for Gold bid Noel Meade hopes there is cut in the ground for impressive Lexus Chase winner Pandorama to let him take his chance in the totesport Cheltenham Gold Cup in March. Meade said: "Pandorama will hopefully head to Cheltenham providing he is fit and well, although we wouldn't run him on good going. Good to soft ground would be OK and we would love to run him in the Cheltenham Gold Cup. "He has come out of his victory in the Lexus Chase in very good form and we have always thought that he was capable of winning a big race like that. He would obviously have to improve again to have a chance at Cheltenham but he is still a young chaser. "In the Hennessy at Newbury, he stood back at the first ditch and landed right in front of the fence. Two horses fell in front of him two fences later - the fright early on added to the two horses falling completely unnerved him and there was no point continuing. "He has generally been a good jumper and we hoped that he would learn from that experience and won't do it again. So he has really only had four runs over fences and you would be hopeful that there is more to come from him. "The plan is for him to run in the Irish Hennessy at Leopardstown at the start of February and then, fingers crossed, he will go to Cheltenham."
