TOM SCUDAMORE hopes to cap his best ever season by winning the National on The Package.
Success for the 11-year-old gelding would be emotional for trainer David Pipe and his team as he still runs in the colours of the late David Johnson, who gave Pipe a National winner with Comply Or Die in 2008.
The Package ran in the race four years ago when he unseated Graham Lee at the 19th. "Obviously the fences are different and while they still take some jumping, I see no reason why he can't cope with it," said Scudamore. "I've always thought a marathon trip would hold no fear."
