A trainer on Thursday is looking to have a winner on the flat at Chelmsford, sending just one runner to the Essex based track on the day, which sees the handler make a 604 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 Tristan Davidson loves bringing his horses this far currently running at a strike rate of 100% during their career having had two winners from two runners.
Our Absent Friends was a good winner last time out at Newcastle and today races off 5lb higher, but he still finds himself well in as he is set to go up a further 4lb for his next event.
Big chance.
