William Hill has opened a book on the East Devon parliamentary battle between Claire Wright (ever-present Ind)ependent) and Hugo Swire rarely-seen Conservative). Claire Wright opens at 7/1, with Ukip well behind on 16/1, Lib Dems 33/1, Labour 100/1. Hugo is 1/9.

Currently Ladbrokes has Claire Wright at 6/1.

So, still perceived as a two horse race!
