Busy Being Busy (15/8), Mr Freedom (5/2), Mr Escobar (7/2), Getalead (7/1), Torrent (15/2), Mostly Sunny (10/1), King Alexander (10/1), Emailandy (14/1), Electric Mason (14/1), Kells Priory (33/1)

The fast-improving BUSY BEING BUSY is fancied to complete the hat-trick. The likeable Mr Freedom has a good record here so is next best ahead of Electric Mason, who lost his chance at the start in the Martin Pipe.
