A trainer on Thursday is looking to have a winner at Chelmsford on the flat, sending just one runner to the Essex based track on the day, which sees the handler make a 462 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 Liam Bailey is looking for the first long distance traveller winner of his career at Chelmsford having had 30 attempts to date, and although having some near misses has not managed to get that winner.

However, Stronsay has a huge chance to break that duck heading here off the back of a solid win on Tuesday and if being able to defy a penalty will be in the mix.
