UK PPs, morning linr ?

Prefacing this question - I know who makes the MLs and what they're trying to accomplish.  I've proven time and time again that I have no clue how to handicap races in the UK so here's the question.

Race one Saturday. All but one in the race has won or finished in the money except for #3 Cardini who is 2/0-0-0 and has finished no closer than 7Ls back of the leader - yet the ML is only 7/1 which is 3rd highest in the 11 horse field. 

Can anyone show me in the BRIS PPs that justifies that ML?   I suspect the  answer is that the BRIS Ascot PPs are almost totally worthless and I need to use some other source for my handicapping indo.

It’s all about the connections. Trainer Aidan O’Brien , jockey Ryan Moore. Otherwise he would be 20-1 !

BTW Cardini was a famous magician . If he pulls this off it might be one of his greatest ever acts of deception.

He can change his name to Houdini.
