Pandorama heads entries for Hennessy

LEOPARDSTOWN yesterday announced the entries for the 4 Grade 1 races on Sunday, February 6, the featured Hennessy Gold Cup, Dr PJ Moriarty Chase, Deloitte Novice Hurdle and the Spring Juvenile Hurdle.

Pandorama heads entries for Hennessy

The Noel Meade-trained Pandorama, impressive winner of the Lexus Chase at Leopardstown’s Christmas Festival last month, heads a list of 18 entries for the Hennessy.

Pandorama, a dual Grade 1 winner last season as a novice chaser and a son of Flemensfirth, has always been held in the highest regard by Meade

He went a long way towards justifying his trainer’s faith when he won the Lexus, pulling six lengths clear of Money Trix. Pandorama is the leading Irish hope for the Cheltenham Gold Cup. Money Trix and Joncol, third in the Lexus, also figure among the entries.

One of the more interesting possibilities is the Paul Nicholls-trained Pride Of Dulcote, conqueror of Punchestowns in the Mandarin Chase at Newbury last month.
