On The Road completed a four-timer at Exeter yesterday and seems unlikely to appear again, although he would obviously have to be respected if lining up. BODEKIN POINT looks like he's improving with experience and he makes his handicap debut at a lowly level – he has more scope than his rivals with the step up in trip expected to suit. Tenant Farmer won a point in March and was third off this mark on his return to hurdling at Fontwell eight days ago while Acadian has been placed in his last two, though looks on a high enough mark for what he's achieved.
