Bell leads all jockeys at the ITC for the 2015-16 campaign on 66 points, but Buckley remains his nearest rival on 59 points heading into the weekend.
Both have a number of chances on a busy afternoon and ride in every event bar the first on the eight race card.
Bell has three good rides for Peter and Paul Snowden, with El Dorado Mine the best of the bunch in the Eclipse Couriers & Taxi Trucks Maiden Handicap (1400m).
Buckley best chances look to come on-board Stalwart (race six) for the Godolphin team and Gerald Ryan’s first starter Loverboy Charlie (race seven).
The two jockeys have a buffer on Paul King (40 points) in the race for the premiership, but the main affectionately known as ‘The Duck’ has some solid rides himself for the day.
