Donald McCain’s stable superstar was ruled out of a tilt at the Welsh Champion Hurdle at Ffos Las or a clash with Binocular at Sandown on Saturday after he was found coughing during the week.

With the likes of Menorah, Hurricane Fly and Binocular all preparing for the Cheltenham Festival, McCain is wary of turning up at Prestbury Park without his horse firing on all cylinders and he explained: "Overturn and Peddlers Cross are going to Wincanton (Kingwell Hurdle on February 19) and Kelso (Morebattle Hurdle on February 17), and it will be a case of either or.

"Peddlers Cross cantered this morning, it was just precautionary as he needed to miss a couple of days.

"I would have needed to gallop him if I wanted to run this weekend and I didn't want to do that."

Peddlers Cross, 6/1, will be looking to make it back-to-back successes at the world’s most famous race meeting and Paddy Power are offering all new customers a free £100 bet on the race.
