Who are the biggest movers?
Youth Spirit has plummeted from 100s after a brilliant win in the Chester Vase Stakes under Tom Marquand.
But it is John Leeper who has come in for a tidal wave of support.
Ed Dunlop’s charge has won both races this year and has been hammered from 66-1 to 7-1.
All odds correct at the time of writing.
