An outside post would not be the end of the world for him either. In fact I think the PP draw is not that important in the derby. Except maybe for 1-2 and 19 and 20.
oh come on, you cant seriously compare the Ark Derby field to this field. In addition, the turn is so quick at Ark and the turn at Churchill is much much longer. I agree he has tatical speed, but I dont think he would be able to secure a position by the first turn.
