The usual suspects are back but they're arranged in a slightly different order this time as Ryan Moore continues to dominate the wagering with several quality contenders sitting just off the pace a point or two behind.
As it currently stands, punters will find Ryan Moore priced at a 3/1 listing while Paul Hanagan sits alongside Silvestre De Sousa at a 4/1 price tag.
Kieran Fallon is usually competitive for this award and this season is no different with bookmakers also taking him into 4/1 as the wagering starts to get a bit more intense before Saturday's cut-off for the season-long wager that carries through to November 10.
De Sousa is expected to get the bulk of Godolphin's mounts this year while Richard Hughes has seen some complications arise from a ban he received while riding in India being carried-over to his English racing dates.
Bookmakers have since taken Hughes from 4/1 up to 6/1.
Some of the other notables for this major award, which always features some interesting twists and turns include William Buick at 16/1 alongside Jamie Spencer while Frankie Dettori can be backed at 20/1. Tom Queally, who is set to pilot Frankel once again this year, is the longest shot on the board at 50/1.
