Craig Bellamy 10/1 Championship top scorer
Following the news that Craig Bellamy has joined Cardiff City on loan, Sky Bet make the Welsh international 10/1 to be the Championship top scorer. It's 5/6 for Bellamy to score 17 or more league goals during the 2010/11 season and 5/6 16 or fewer.
Bellamy to shine in the Championship?
Bellamy could be handed his debut when Cardiff host Doncaster this weekend and it's 11/10 for the 31-year-old to score on his debut and 28/1 he bags a hat-trick. 2/1 is on offer that Bellamy gets booked and it's 16/1 he gets sent off.
Sky Bet's Tim Reynolds said: "Bellamy can count himself unlucky not to make Manchester City's 25-man squad as he was outstanding for City last season. The Citizens' loss is Cardiff's gain and you can guarantee that the Welsh international will be an instant hit with his hometown club."

Rewilding new 6/4 St Leger favourite
Rewilding shot straight to the head of the St Leger market at 6/4 (from 4s) with Sky Bet following his impressive four length success in the Great St Voltigeur Stakes at York on Wednesday.
The Godolphin colt was always travelling strongly in rear under Frankie Dettori and unleashed a smart turn of foot when asked to see off the Ballydoyle pair Midas Touch, who was giving the winner 3lbs, and Joshua Tree.
Matt Doyle of Sky Bet said: 'The winner rubber stamped his Leger claims in breathtaking style in one of the best trials for the Oldest Classic and had the right horses filling the frame behind.'
The runner-up Midas Touch has now twice finished behind the winner after they last met in the Epsom Derby and had his Leger odds eased out to 6/1 from 4s, while third Joshua Tree is 14s from 25/1.
