Hennessy the aim for Pandorama Pandorama is still on course for the Hennessy Gold Cup after being none the worse for a nose bleed that prevented him from running at Down Royal on Saturday. Noel Meade's classy performer was withdrawn at the start before the Ladbrokes.com Chase after the problem was spotted. "It's a bit of a mystery because when he got back to the enclosure he was perfect and he has been fine since," said Meade. "I don't know if it's possible he hit himself in his box or on the truck coming up to the course or something like that. That's the only thing we can think of. "He was in great form. He scoped after he worked the other day and he was perfect, so I'm very hopeful it was just a bang or something like that. "I didn't get the chance to see if there's a race to run him in before the Hennessy but I don't believe there is. "I'd say the Hennessy is definitely the plan. Whether he runs before I don't think so, it will probably be a racecourse gallop." Pandorama, who has not raced since winning the Grade One Knight Frank Novice Chase at Leopardstown last December, is a 10-1 chance for the prestigious handicap chase at Newbury on November 27th.
