At least now with Lalor, the market could look a lot different by the time he next runs.

Woollacott said in her Betway blog: "I said last week that I was a bit worried if the ground got heavy at Sandown on Saturday for Lalor and unfortunately that was the case.
"We had the same issue at Newbury in February. He just doesn’t like it heavy, but he’s absolutely fine and is having a quiet week now.
"Dicky (Richard Johnson) was very positive that it was some more decent experience for him. On the whole he jumped well, apart from being slow at the third."
Looking to future plans, Woollacott added: "In an ideal world we would have liked to have given him more than just under three weeks between runs, but we now have plenty of time until the Lightning Novices’ Chase at Doncaster at the end of January.
"There’s also a nice gap between that race and Cheltenham, so we’ll be hoping the ground isn’t too bad and he can bounce back to last month’s form.
"We know he's a very good horse and although Saturday was a mild setback, it’s all part of the learning curve and his main targets are in the spring."

I won't be cashing out the 33/1 ew on Lalor ...

Has anyone backed Defi Du Seuil for the Arkle?
I'm of the opinion he was improved for the step up in trip and that'd also fit the mould of plenty of successful Triumph winners of years gone by....
but the risk-free(ish) 365 cashout means I'm looking at the 16/1 and wondering whether to put it into the book.
Would Le Richebourg being an obvious JLT contender and no other Arkle potential come into the reckoning?
Do we know where DDS is going next?
I don't even like the horse
