Peddlers pleases McCain Donald McCain was left "very happy" after his unbeaten Peddlers Cross galloped after racing at Bangor yesterday. The Cheshire-based handler had earlier saddled a treble at his local track to further advertise his string are in rude health. The Neptune Investment Management Novices' Hurdle winner is due to reappear in the StanJames.com Fighting Fifth Hurdle at Newcastle on November 27. "It was grand. He had a nice blow, it got the freshness out of him and he worked very nicely so I'm very happy," said McCain. "He's such a good work horse I can't quite get the graft I need to into him at home as he does everything so easy. It was good. "He worked with Chamirey (formerly with Alan King), who was third in the Pertemps at Cheltenham last year. "We've put him in the Hatton's Grace at Fairyhouse just in case something happens at Newcastle, I'm just keeping bases covered, but Newcastle is the plan at the moment. "We'll get a couple of schools (over hurdles) into him next week, he hasn't done any yet."
