    I took 13/2 about Dance in the Storm the other day and thought the price at the time was not over generous. Best price 5/2 now - what do I know?

    A friend of mine had a runner at Newcastle last year and said that when he entered the owners and trainers restaurant it was like setting foot in a f$%^ing miners club. It was four deep at the bar as well!!!
