Myretown looks a bet-to-nothing at 7/2.
If L’Homme Presse runs, he carries 10-06 and three come out. Myretown goes off shorter.

If L’Homme Presse doesn’t run, a high-class rival disappears. His chance improves.

Either way, there’s more upside than downside.
 
L'Homme Presse, Mr Vango and Resplendent Grey all need to come out for My Silver Lining to get in, I think - without that trio she's certainly not 25/1.
 
Tbh I wouldn't put it past them to change their own ante-post rules regarding this new BHA rule, but if it's the same rules as for balloting out I entirely take your point and 25/1 is simply too big.

It would be a lot simpler to just price it correctly. These races will be few and far between.
 
I've always thought they'd rather employ the cheapest staff they can and simply restrict anyone who can spot a "wrong price," than pay what it takes to price markets efficiently from the get-go, but you'd know more about that than me.

It certainly gives the race an extra dimension.
