Balkos (3/1), Arizona Flyer (10/3), Springfield Lodge (7/2), Lyla Garrity (11/2), Different Beat (9/1), Lily Light Foot (11/1), Christmas Jumper (12/1), Duca Di Milano (14/1), Golden Glen (16/1), Shantou Warrior (25/1), Johanna Yeats (25/1), Justakeg (25/1), Bracklin Princess (28/1), Peter Pat (28/1), Its Theway Forward (40/1), Unlaoised (40/1), Magnor Glory (50/1), Derby De Thaix (66/1), Justice Jim (66/1)

SPRINGFIELD LODGE is taken to continue the good work back hurdling and complete a quick hat-trick. Different Beat appeals as one who could have more to offer back from a break on just her second outing for the Gavin Cromwell stable. Balkos is also much respected on the back of 2 good runner-up efforts last month.
