A trainer on Friday is looking to have a winner at Southwell on the all weather, sending just one runner to the Nottinghamshire based track on the day, which sees the handler make a 402 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 Iain Jardine loves bringing his horses this far currently running at a strike rate of 14% during his career having had 117 winners from 830 runners.

Sleight is a very interesting horse in this event that although being an exposed maiden has thrown out some very smart runs and his latest short head second at Newcastle really puts him in the frame if repeating that run.
