It would be a draw to delight the sponsors with a number of the Ladbrokes Golden Jacket heats looking to be evenly matched between dogs of similar ability.

This is particularly true in heat four where four of the top eight in the ante post lists, including the favourite and second favourite are in opposition.

Defending champ Shotgun Bullet seems to be favourably drawn, at least in terms of the betting, though the orange jacket may not suit quite as well as the white in which Derek Knight’s middle seed won last year’s decider.
