A trainer on Monday is looking to have a winner over the jumps at Lingfield, sending just one runner to the Surrey based track on the day, which sees the handler make a 470 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 Jane Williams loves bringing her horses this far currently running at a strike rate of 27% during her career having had eight winners from 42 runners.

Sixth in a competitive handicap hurdle at Cheltenham's November meeting last time out, he now runs off 1lb lower and has the potential to be better than his mark of 105.
