Comments on the clue
1.the hyphen connects the anagram indicator too closely to the fodder, for me
2.like the simple clue. Not sure about the hyphen linking to anagrind
3.0.5 for the original definition.
4.I'm not a fan of having to deconstruct a hyphenated word.
5.apostrophe s in the middle of fodder is intrusive, otherwise a nice clue
6.Spoilt by the extra and s.
7.Just that 'S which spoils it.
8.Surface nice but you've presented 'lap-dancing' as one word: so it makes no logical sense (as a clue).
