A trainer on Tuesday is looking to have a winner at Salisbury on the flat, sending just one runner to the Wiltshire based track on the day, which sees the handler make a 530 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.

Charlie Johnston loves bringing his horses this far currently running at a strike rate of 22% during his career having had 19 winners from 88 runners.
