Vernon Kay remains at the head of the market but has drifted slightly from 6/4 to 2/1, reflecting growing competition from Cox and Gary Davies. Kay has been prominent since the market opened, backed by his strong position within the station and the success of his current mid-morning slot.
Behind the front two, Gary Davies is priced at 7/2 after stepping in following Mills’ departure, while OJ Borg is available at 5/1. Rylan Clark follows at 7/1, continuing to attract support as a popular and versatile broadcaster. Clara Amfo and Greg James are priced at 8/1, while Claudia Winkleman and Dermot O’Leary sit at 10/1. Roman Kemp is a 14/1 shot, with veteran broadcaster Tony Blackburn and comedian Joe Wilkinson both at 20/1. Alex Horne is the outsider at 40/1.
