Trainer David Pipe on Thursday is looking to have a winner at Market Rasen today over the jumps, sending just one runner to the Lincolnshire based track on the day, which sees the handler make a 500 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.

The handler loves bringing his horses this far currently running at a strike rate of 22% during his career having had 202 winners from his 904 runners coming this far.

Awesomedude is making his hurdles debut having been a smart horse on the flat for a different handler landing his last five events on the level over staying trips for James Ferguson.

Pipe has gone down this road before with the likes of Main Fact and he has the potential to turn into a smart gelding.
