It ran at Kempton last week - in a 12 furlong (1 mile 4 furlong) handicap and it got up into third place at 25/1.
A couple of quid (each way) on it over the racing season could fund the Manchester treat.
PPS - erk! It's due to run over 14 furlongs tonight in the 20:55 at Yarmouth. Odds of around 8/1. Hmmmm, dunno.... maybe.
Ah well - 'Between the Lines' went off at 14/1 in a six runner race, faded over the last 2 furlongs and finished 5th. The only other outsider in the race, Dr. Finley, won at 16/1. It's a mug's game after all!
Even so, if BtL goes back to 12f next time....
