Defending champions Toulouse and a London Wasps side laden with World Cup winners are vying for favouritism in the 2003-04 Heineken Cup.
The French club are 5-1 in most markets, with Wasps available at 8-1 with some bookmakers. European heavyweights Stade Francais, Munster, Leicester and Gloucester are next in favouritism, while last season's runners-up Perpignan look good value at 12-1 considering their off-season purchases from around the world.
The Brian O'Driscoll-inspired Leinster are also at 12-1, while Welsh region Llanelli Scarlets are worth a look at 16-1.
At the other end of the market, bookies have discounted both Italian sides, while the Scottish pair of Borders and Edinburgh and the Welsh duo of the Cardiff Blues and the Gwent Dragons are also given no chance.
