Acomb Stakes winner The Lion In Winter - who flopped in the Dante at York - is out to a huge 11 (10-1) on the Betfair Exchange.
While Coral reported a surge of bets for Coolmore-owned Delacroix, who looks like being the mount of Ryan Moore.
Coral's David Stevens said: "Since Aidan O'Brien's comments earlier this week that Ryan Moore would find it difficult not to ride Delacroix at Epsom, the Leopardstown Trial winner has been the best-backed Derby contender by far.
"He has regained outright favouritism for the Classic, in contrast to The Lion In Winter, who has now been eased to 6-1 for next Saturday's race."
