Bookmakers are divided about the significance of the untimely injury to two-time champion Luke Morris in his traditional duel with Adam Kirby for the all-weather jockeys' title.
Kirby was the first champion in 2014-15 and 32Red make him 10-11 favourite to regain the crown from Morris, who is 11-10 after breaking his collarbone in a fall at Chelmsford on Saturday.
New all-weather championship sponsors Betway have it the other way round, with Morris 4-5 to retain his title and Kirby 5-4.
