A trainer on Wednesday is looking to have a winner at Chelmsford on the flat, sending just one runner to the track on the day, which sees the handler make a 462 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.

The handler loves bringing his horses this far currently running at a strike rate of 10 % during his career having had 14 winners from 142 runners.

Today he fields Hesperis who has currently landed three of her five handicap bouts to date and although 8lb for this run today, she is again hard to dismiss.
