This is a bit of a shocker so ON THE ROAD's Exeter victory last month stands out. His penalty gets him into the handicap proper and he probably only need improve a little to score again. Tikkapick had just been headed when falling over fences last time so may be this drop in distance will suit. Junior Package has a cracking NH pedigree but he's been a huge disappointment so far over hurdles and may be ready for fences. Sun Quest's course and distance win came in a seller in 2008 and he's 7lb wrong in the weights today.
