9/4 Kieren Fallon is bookmaker Victor Chandler's favourite to finish as 'Top Jockey' over the five days of Royal Ascot.

The six-time champion jockey landed his third Derby win in six years with victory on North Light last Saturday and arrives at Royal Ascot in imperious form.

"Fallon is simply superb at the moment and is riding like a demon," said Chandler's Neal Wilkins.

"He's got a very good book of rides and definitely looks something to bet and keep the interest going over the five days if you are a backer."

Second favourite in the firm's lists comes 11/4 Frankie Dettori with 5/1 Jamie Spencer, 7/1 Darryll Holland and 10/1 Mick Kinane next in line.

12/1 Richard Hughes, 12/1 Johnny Murtagh and 16/1 Kevin Darley make up the rest of the chief market protagonists.

Royal Ascot starts on Tuesday, June 15.
