Although working at racecourses in the UK for the last 10 days, he’s not across the last-minute moves and rumours, Chris has past form on calling the right odds.

Comments in brackets are Chris’s personal thoughts…

Deputy elections

Grouville and St. Martin

St. Helier North

4 / 5 – Mary Le Hegarat

11 /10 – Steve Ahier

16/ 1 – Lyndon Farnham (the fiasco with the Royal Yacht during covid may work against him”)

One last thought…

“The most interesting thing will be turnout. I don’t think people have taken to the new districts or party politics.”
