Oisin Murphy and Billy Loughnane are expected to go toe-to-toe in the race to be crowned champion jockey.
Murphy (10/11) stormed to the title last year - his fifth in total - riding 143 winners and collecting more than £5m in prize money.
Despite falling 35 short of Murphy's total, up and coming pilot Loughnane (5/4) is expected to mount a serious challenge to the Irishman's crown this time around.

Murphy's five titles, coming in 2019, 2020, 2021, 2024 and 2025, have been fuelled largely by the Andrew Balding operation for whom he has ridden almost 500 winners for across the last five seasons.
Balding ordinarily possesses a fine string of horses and this year will be no different with the likes of Kalpana, Humidity and Never So Brave all expected to challenge at the top table.
Last year's runner-up, Loughnane, will be backed heavily by Newmarket trainer George Boughey, who himself will be expecting to challenge for Group honours in 2026.
Whilst this is largely being billed as a two horse race, Rossa Ryan (16/1) was crowned champion all-weather jockey in 2023/24 and certainly has what it takes if he is provided with increased ammunition.
Tom Marquand (20/1), who is stable jockey to William Haggas is also a runner as well as two-time winner William Buick (25/1) and Cieren Fallon (66/1).
Any odds displayed were correct at the time of writing and are subject to fluctuation.
