Analysing the latest odds, Betfred’s Kayley Cornelius said: “Sarah Hadland is looking to be the dark horse of this year’s competition.
“When betting markets originally opened, Sarah was priced at 20/1 to win. However, in recent weeks we have seen an influx of bets placed backing Sarah to win resulting in her odds being boosted to a more competitive 12/1.”
In addition, she said: “We only expect these odds to shorten in Sarah’s favour as she continues to grow and wow the fans at home every week. While it’s still early days in the competition, Betfred are tipping Sarah at 4/5 to be a finalist in this year’s series!”
