A trainer on Thursday is looking to have a winner at Lingfield over the jumps, sending just one runner to the Surrey based track on the day, which sees the handler make a 520 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 Peter Bowen loves bringing his horses this far currently running at a strike rate of 20% during his career having had 142 winners from 698 runners.

The five year old switches to handicaps straight away over fences for the first time today and with the addition of headgear and a step up in trip, he could be one to follow at a price.
