What the expert says...
Can Anyone Stop Bristow?
Lorna Dupre, a Cambridgeshire County Councillor, is priced at 3/1 and is viewed as the likeliest challenger.
With the Liberal Democrats performing strongly across the East of England in local elections, she could attract tactical votes if anti-Tory sentiment consolidates.
Labour’s Anna Smith, former leader of Cambridge City Council, sits at 7/1.
Labour faces an uphill battle in this particular region but her strong campaign on public services and affordable housing could help tighten the result.
Further back, Ryan Coogan (Reform UK) at 10/1 could impact the Conservative vote share though a win looks unlikely, while Bob Ensch (Greens) at 100/1 remains a distant outsider.
