A trainer on Thursday is looking to have a winner at Sedgefield over the jumps, sending just one runner to the northern based track on the day, which sees the handler make a 626 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 Mark Gillard loves bringing his horses this far currently running at a strike rate of 33% during his career having had two winners from six runners.

Avithos won this race last year off 4lb lower and could find her best form once again back over a course and distance she handles well.
