The John Smiths Cup odds for the most competitive handicap on Saturday has the online bookmakers unsure how to set their books up. With the top two on most firms books unlikely to run in Collection due to rain and Plan from the all conquering Aiden O'Brien stable unlikely to get in, Ladbrokes have taken the right approach and have down their market without them in their field. With Ladbrokes ignoring these two their market is headed by horses already guaranteed a run in the field, installing Monte Alto, Mutajarred and Proponent as 7-1 co-favourites.

The firm's spokesman David Williams said: "Never before has the term 'others on request' been so appropriate. The likes of Plan and Collection would top our betting but we just can't see them getting anywhere near the race, so it's already wide open."
Totesport have taken a different approach making their 9-2 favourite Collection and 6-1 second favourite Plan. Spokesman Damian Walker said: "There's a good chance that the first two in the betting won't make Saturday's big betting race.
"Of the two, the 6-1 shot Plan looks to have the best chance as he needs 13 to come out to make the cut. Aidan O'Brien has mopped up most of this season's Group 1s and Plan would have a good chance of adding one of the season's most competitive handicaps to the trainer's big-race haul. Plan was eighth in the 2,000 Guineas and has shaped as though this step up in trip could bring about further improvement."
