McCain in full Cry for Ladbroke

DONALD McCain is looking forward to giving Desert Cry his chance in a race as challenging as the Ladbroke at Ascot today.

The five-year-old goes for this valuable handicap hurdle on the back of a win at Haydock four weeks ago – his first outing since April.

“I’m pleased with him. It’s a very competitive race, obviously, and it’s a step up in grade, but he’s in good form,” said the Cholmondeley trainer.
