Just out of interest for what reason would you have defi de seuil as being a bad fav. Or limited form?

I'd be of the opinion the front 2 in that race. Are twice the price they should be.
 
I think in a few of those races there is very little between the top 2/3 in the betting so it wouldn’t be that much of a shock if Cilaos Emery or Lalor won the Arkle. The same could be said of the Ballymore, JLT & Stayers.

Not so much a bad fav but i'd say its pretty hard to even guess the field at the moment let alone starting prices. Good Horses always get diverted to this race, Shattered Love from the RSA to JLT, Black Hercules from the NH Chase to the JLT two late switches in recent times both winning. I see Champagne Classic cut again today for the race, 12-1 now at PP.
 
Which current market Fav’s do you think will fail to deliver Charlie??
