We take a closer look at the horses moving in the markets across the UK and Ireland today.
First up at Uttoxeter, it's ZEPHYROS BLEU. Originally priced at 4/1, he's now as short as 7/4 with some bookies, available at a best price of 5/2. A promising youngster, he struggled for form before a wind operation in June but will be making his debut for Dan Skelton's yard this afternoon.
Next in the 19:45 at Kempton, we have WESTERN DUKE. Priced at 7/2 when markets opened, some bookies now have him as short as 11/8, with a current best price of 15/8. The favourite for this one, his form was solid last year but has dipped significantly since. This will be his second start since joining Ian Williams' yard from Ralph Beckett and punters are backing him to improve.
Finally it's DIOCLES OF ROME in the 20:15 at Kempton. Starting way out at 8/1, he's as short as 11/4 and a best price of 10/3. Coming off a 102 day break, he ran well on this surface at the same track when narrowly beaten by Lady Al Thumama back in July and punters are hoping for more of the same this evening.
