Tough test for Peddlers Cross

Peddlers Cross heads 18 six-day acceptors for the Jewson Novices' Chase at Cheltenham on Thursday.

Donald McCain switched last year's Champion Hurdle second to the two-and-a-half mile contest from the Arkle and he faces a strong Irish challenge.
Bog Warrior, Call The Police, Gift Of Dgab, Imperial Shabra, Lambro and Sir Des Champs have all been left in the race.
Al Ferof remains entered although he looks set to run in the Arkle on the opening day of the meeting while Cristal Bonus has looked a very smart prospect for Paul Nicholls.
Nicky Henderson relies on Solix, Zaynar could have his first run for David Pipe and Bold Sir Brian, Champion Court, Duke Of Lucca, For Non Stop, Michael Flips, Red Tanber and Kumbeshwar complete the field.
