Three Stripe Life (5/2), Walking On Air (9/2), North Lodge (11/2), Good Risk At All (11/2), Elle Est Belle (7/1), Stage Star (17/2), Colonel Mustard (12/1), Might I (16/1), Harbour Lake (25/1), Nells Son (28/1), Captain Conby (80/1), Great Heart'Jac (200/1), Saint Riquier (250/1)

NORTH LODGE, a C&D winner on debut back in December, lost little in defeat when beaten by a very narrow margin by Nells Son under a 5 lb penalty at Kelso last month, and he's a very appealing candidate now back up in trip, especially with the prospect of more to come after just 3 starts. Three Stripe Life sets the standard on his runner-up effort to Sir Gerhard in the Ballymore at the Cheltenham Festival, while Good Risk At All and Walking On Air are others to take seriously.
