A trainer on Tuesday is looking to have a winner at Kempton on the flat, sending just one runner to the Surrey based track on the day, which sees the handler make a 498 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.

Trainer Philip Kirby loves bringing his horses this far currently running at a strike rate of 9% during his career having had 10 winners from 117 runners.

Busby is having his first run for the yard this evening having been finished a narrow third at the track last time out having been the subject of a big gamble before the off.

Big chance.
