St Leger Fav?

I might be talkin through my pocket, but can't see anything other than Excess Knowledge starting fav in the big race! The ground is turning is way, when others might not even turn up if conditions worsen, plus the trainer has farmed the race recently, hr'd a genius with these types. Joe Coral layed me a decent bet @11/4 for a change! it's basically a 4 horse market, I make Galileo's rock maybe doubtful if soft is in the description, still declared for Irish equivalent, then will O'brien run 2? Leading Light still in Irish St leger, and Foundry(although eyecatching) surely can't start fav after 2 starts, also make the former better on a sounder surface. Any thoughts welcome
