Peddlers Cross team on Haydock weather watch

PEDDLERS CROSS is not a definite runner at Haydock on Saturday due to trainer Donald McCain’s concerns about testing conditions.

Last season’s Champion Hurdle runner-up has made a fine start to his career over fences, winning twice at Bangor without being troubled.

McCain still hopes to run his stable-star for a third time this weekend – in the Maxilead Metals Supports The Injured Jockeys Fund Novices’ Chase – but is unsure whether a run in heavy ground would be the right thing to do at this stage of the season.
