Trainer Nigel Twiston-Davies on Thursday is looking to have a winner at Perth today over the jumps, sending just one runner to the Scottish based track on the day, which sees the handler make a 752 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 19% during his career having had 60 winners from his 312 runners coming this far.

Ballymoy has been a horse on the up and is now seeking a hat-trick on Thursday after good wins at Catterick and Ludlow on differing ground.

He does have a double penalty to contest with but if staying on his upward curve then he has a hug chance.
