NORTH LODGE built on debut promise to remain unbeaten at Cheltenham 5 weeks ago, and with further improvement on the cards, Alan King's charge can take his record to 3-3. Richmond Lake got within 3 lengths of Jonbon at Haydock 5 weeks ago so he's fancied to give the selection most to think about, with the unbeaten Sholokjack completing the shortlist.
