A trainer on Tuesday is looking to have a winner at Fakenham over the jumps, sending just one runner to the Norfolk based track on the day, which sees the handler make a 510 mile round trip.

When we see trainers coming such a long way to just run the one horse we like to highlight it, as we believe they would not be coming all that way if it did not have a real chance.

Trainer Philip Hobbs loves bringing his horses this far currently running at a strike rate of 29% during his career having had 64 winners from 224 runners.

No Comment won for the first time in five years at Huntingdon last time out and now avoiding a penalty for that win has a big chance to follow up.
