If your only interested in a few ticks profit, try placing your lay just before the jump, with a "keep in play" back a couple of ticks higher. A bit more risky, but unless the horse gets an absolute flying start, the natural ebb and flow of the in running market should see you matched. Don't get too greedy though. May not be the most prudent strategy on the fav - you'd have to pick your race there I think.
