Norway impresses for Eurovision Triumph

Norway look likely to go off the shortest priced favourite in the history of Eurovision (Saturday will be the 54th) and are currently 20/21 at Stan James following last night's second semi-final for Saturday evening's live final. Many were impressed in Moscow with the performance given by Ukraine and they are into 28/1.

France who are one of five countries who didn't have to qualify through this week's semi-finals have also been well-supported and are now 33/1 but it looks all about Alexander Rybak. His song "Fairytale" is reported to have had twice as many hits on U Tube as any other competitor in the event but is 20/21 value in a 25-runner event?
