Busy Being Busy (7/4), Stinginhisstep (11/2), Al Sayah (11/2), Diplomatie (13/2), Striking A Pose (7/1), El Capitaine (10/1), Despereaux (10/1), Elusiveness (12/1), Coconut Twist (14/1), Moorland Rambler (16/1)

A tight handicap. MOORLAND RAMBLER turned in his best effort for some time when winning at Ffos Las on final start last season and is still fairly treated. He looks most interesting if returning in the same form, with Al Sayah feared most in her bid to maintain a perfect record over C&D. Busy Being Busy ought to be better for his reappearance and could be the beneficiary if the pace is strong.
