Trainer Nigel Hawke on Monday is looking to have a winner on the over the in the bumper at Doncaster sending just one runner to the northern track on the day, which sees the handler make a 486 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 becoming all that way if it did not have a real chance.

Nigel Hawke is a shrewd trainer that has a superb record when sending runners this far, seeing an 18% strike rate with his horses and with just the one runner he is worth taking notice of.

He fields the five year old Galore Desassences in the lucky last, with the gelding having slightly more experience than most in the field.

Although unseating his rider on his only point to point start, In November he headed over course and distance at Doncaster for his rules debut.

He finished a bright third in the event, only being four lengths behind the winner that looks a nice type for Alan King and he will be sure to come on for that run.

This event does look slightly hotter, with two newcomers heading the market that could turn out to be anything but with Hawke's record he is worth keeping on side at a nice price.
