Noel Meade has not decided yet whether to send Sir Oj over to Cheltenham on Saturday for the Robin Cook Memorial Gold Cup.

Noel Meade has not decided yet whether to send Sir Oj over to Cheltenham on Saturday for the Robin Cook Memorial Gold Cup.

The eight-year-old made a promising return on the Flat at Navan before disappointing over fences at Galway in October when making a number of jumping errors.

He is a general 25-1 shot for the Grade Three chase, but Meade’s main concern is whether he will make the cut as he is 23rd in a race which has a 20-runner safety limit.

“I’m not sure if he will run at the moment,” said the trainer.

“He is in good shape but he is four pounds out at the weights and he needs three to drop out to get in.

“I need to have a talk to the owners before I decide.”
