A trainer on Monday is looking to have a winner at Newcastle on the flat, sending just one runner to the northern based track on the day, which sees the handler make a 566 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.

Training duo William Muir & Chris Grassick love bringing their horses this far currently running at a strike rate of 50% during his career having had two winners from four runners.

This son of Kodiac does need to settle better but looks to have plenty of raw ability and should be better than his current mark of 75.
