A trainer on Tuesday is looking to have a winner at Huntingdon over the jumps, sending just one runner to the Cambridgeshire based track on the day, which sees the handler make a 408 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.

Nigel Hawke loves bringing his horses this far currently running at a strike rate of 17% during his career having had 126 winners from 758 runners.

Theocrat looks to hold some leading claims in the event having won a nice race over two miles at Worcester last time out and although fairly high in the weights, he looks as though he is still progressing and could take the penalty in his stride.
