Royals Ascot is a wonderful meeting but I'm off to Thirsk to try for a trade this afternoon, in the 12 furlong handicap at 2.50 I think that the returning Royal Trooper is worth giving it a shot. He is a consistent sort over middle distances and although his record is quite neutral following a lay off I think he will go well enough today to give us a trade. Frederick Tylicki has ridden him four times, twice winning and one place along with a 5th place, the distance is fine and the going should be no problem. He was price up at 10/1 this morning (11.0) and I took some 11.5 and 12 here for an average 11.5 leaving an in running lay off price of 6.8 needed for an all green to 1.3 pts for a loss and 1.5 pts for a win, or lay off at 7.6 for a 1 pt profit.
As always its 2 points to win and either 3.35 or 3.05 pts to lay.
