The fact he was left in at all at the forfeit stage, was sufficient reason for me to rationalise that connections were at least prepared to hold off on a decision/continue to take a look at the race.

I don't think Egerton's comments are attempting to put anyone away. And I don't think leaving him in is merely a precaution against the race cutting-up. I think it's much more about them keeping their options open.

Is it a 109/1 chance that Hobbs Hill will run in the race?

Is it 109/1 chance that he won't get 3m1f, even if he does run in it?

The answer might be 'Yes' on both counts, but at those odds, I'm prepared to pay to find out.
