A trainer on Monday is looking to have a winner at Carlisle over the jumps, sending just one runner to the northern based track on the day, which sees the handler make a 508 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 Kim Bailey loves bringing his horses this far currently running at a strike rate of 28% during his career having had 54 winners from 192 runners.

This gelding is not the most straight forward horse to get behind, but does hold serious ability and with cheekpieces on today and having had a wind op since his last run, he could be primed for a big run.
