With the United Kingdom selection just a day away, book makers William Hill suggest that Antony Costa is on the march to carry the hopes of the nation to Athens. With even money on the singer, he is expected to romp to victory at the third annual Making your mind up against his rivals. The nearest challengers are rated way back with odds of 9/2.

As expected ex-Blue singer Anthony Costa is favourite to win the ticket to Athens, with ex-Hear�Say star Kym Marsh, Daz Sampson from United Nations and BBC Drama River City�s duo, City Chix, right behind him.

The full odds as given by William Hill are:

� Anthony Costa – Evens
� Kym Marsh – 9/2
� Daz Sampson – 9/2
� City Chix – 9/2
� Four Story – 5/1
� Goran Kay – 10/1

WIlliam Hill are also offering odds of 33/1 on the United Kingdom winning the Eurovision Song Contest and 20/1 to achieve a second dreaded 'nul points'.

This, of course, could all change by tomorrow and ultimately it�s down to the viewing public to decide who will take to the stage in Athens on May 20th and attempt to bring the Eurovision Song Contestcrown back to the United Kingdom for the first time since Katrina and the Waves took the title in 1997.
