Trainer Neil Mulholland on Tuesday is looking to have a winner at Catterick on the flat, sending just one runner to the Yorkshire based track on the day, which sees the handler make a 500 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 24% during his career having had 111 winners from 462 runners.

True Romance is a seven year old going the right way having won nicely at Bath last time out when dropping down the handicap and having won over course and distance before he should go close off 3lb higher than his last winning mark.
