Ripon is a lovely Yorkshire course and I hope we can get a couple of trades there today, the first one goes in the 3.10 race where I think that the twice raced Mark Johnston horse Taqaat will go well enough to give us a trade. After a gentle debut on the all weather at Wolverhampton he improved for that as mosy Hohnston horses do and won a maiden at Beverley in decent fashion, he led from almost the start that day and I hope he does so again today. He's been given a fair handicap mark of 79 and given that he started life in a nine furlong race I think there will be further improvement expected in him for the step up to ten furlongs today. 5/1 (6.0) at Corals this morning, 6.4 here was good enough for me leaving a lay off price in running of an average of around the 3.8 mark for an all green profit of 1.3 pts, thats for 2pts win and 4.25pts lay, or lay off at 3.95 for an all green scren of 1 pt that is to 2pts win and 3.05 pts lay.

Taquaat traded as low as 3.0 in running, happy days.
