That is a bad drift 2/1 now, getabird has also drifted out to 2/1 but I would be more worried about Footpad... Oddschecker has also gone pink across the board on him & blue on everything else..

Any update on him floating about??

Racing Post 8 mins ago:

An alarming drift of Footpad on the exchange at the moment. In the priceboxes in today's Racing Post the Mullins horse is a top-priced 6-4 for the Racing Post Arkle Trophy but on Betfair the last price Footpad was matched at was 4.8.

Just some info which readers may wish to know. Footpad bled after a piece of work this morning, he seems okay but the Vet will be checking him over on Monday morning and scoping him. He worked okay, but connections are worried slightly as he has never bled before.

I’ve found this folks. No idea if true

Thanks Jon, hope he is ok, the race will not be the same without him...

ATR just said he's being backed for the JLT.... doesn't look that way to me?

Somebody just took about 60 at around 12.5 anyway and another 50 was down at 11.5 but was taken away again. If people knew he was going JLT the 11.0 & 9.8 would be snapped up soon. Iv my eyes peeled and mouse at the ready anyway. Betvictor were 7/1 NRNB too but went to 6/1

i think punters have seen it drift for arkle then without having any info have thought willie has decided to go JLT and are backing it nrnb

[Robbante]

Be arkle or nothing for Footpad. Makes no sense for him to go JLT given stables other horses

[robith]

Sorry lads, I put an acca on this morning with PM in and with my fearsome reputation bookies have been forced to take dramatic steps

Nor me & that would be madness to take him out of a race he is red hot fav for.. but I would not put it pass Mullins..

Exchanged texts with W Mullins, asking if there's been any change in the thinking re Footpad.
"Arkle as far as we are concerned" is the message

A guy I know on Facebook who has a betting group. He has a lot of connections in the game. It’s very plausible and would explain the drift. I hope it’s not true tho. You know what it’s like this time of year.
