8/1 would be a massive price, as he's be very short... but it's such a huge IF that it has to put you off?
Ruby would ride Footpad over Min in any race that they ever met in going forward. Footpad is less exposed over 2 miles, may be better already, and if they went up in trip, he's also be on Footpad.
I think the owners will have a very large say in where Footpad goes. I hope they get their way and we get to see a decent clash. If the trainer gets his way (as we're lead to believe) he'd go for the Gold Cup.... so the Ryanair would have to be a real last-minute switch.
Personally, I'm waiting to see a NRNB price for him. If bookies don't expect him to run and put him at around 5/1 I'd have a sizable each way bet on him.
