A trainer on Wednesday is looking to have a winner at Newcastle on the all weather, sending just one runner to the northern based track on the day, which sees the handler make a 598 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 Neil Mulholland loves bringing his horses this far currently running at a strike rate of 20% during his career having had 53 winners from 262 runners.

The eight year old is now down to a career low mark of 74 and not being ridden to suit last time out, today looks a big opportunity to get back on track.
