Sub sets his sights on Peddlers cross

ROBBIE Hennessy’s 2007 Champion Hurdle hero Sublimity is poised to lock horns with Peddlers Cross in the Victor Chandler Morebattle Hurdle at Kelso on Thursday.

Donald McCain plans to run his Champion Hurdle aspirant in the race after he missed an engagement last weekend due to a minor setback, and he could yet face a decent test of his Cheltenham credentials.

Sublimity may not be the force of old and finished last in last month’s Irish Champion Hurdle at Leopardstown, but Hennessy is thrilled with his star performer’s condition.
