McCain's Cross wins Novices’ Hurdle at Aintree

Donald McCain’s Peddlers Cross maintained his unbeaten record with an impressive display in the John Smith’s Mersey Novices’ Hurdle at Aintree.

Sent off the 5-4 favourite to supplement his victory in the Neptune Investment Management Novices’ Hurdle at the Cheltenham Festival, the five-year-old was never too far off the pace under Jason Maguire.
