Jaytee China is an interesting runner stepped up to six bends for the William Hill Grand Prix and can take the scalp of Aayamzamodel in the opening heat. The sister of Derby winner Rio Quattro can quickly build up a race winning lead.
China’s trainer Paul Young will have high hopes of winning heat two with Jaytee Osprey but she is not the most powerful runner and Lowgate Jasper can outstay her.
Prestige third Dinzeo could be the answer to a wide open heat three. Harry Crapper’s dog has rubbed shoulders with the best and the change of scenery may see him outstay the likes of Teejays Panther and Jimmy Nailed On.
Harry Williams’ Blackhouse Heidi, getting better with each run after a seasonal break, can reverse last week’s form with Magical Reid in the fourth qualifier.
Airmount Paco, who beat Blackhouse Heidi impressively in a trial stake two weeks ago, could be the answer to heat five. He can get first run on the likes of Teejayspowerhawk and Pinpoint Brandi.
Last year’s first and second Farley Rio and Bubbly Gold clash in the last qualifier. Paul Young’s Bubbly Gold, from an ideal slot on the fence, can reverse that form.
The sponsors bet:
7 Bubbly Gold, 8 Airmount Paco, Magical Reid, Teejays Panther, 10 Pinpoint Brandi, Teejayspowerhawk, 14 Aayamzamodel, Dinzeo, Jimmy Nailed On, Lowgate Jasper, 16 Roxi Dem, 20 Blackhouse Heidi, Calzaghe Vet, Elwick Glory, Jaytee China, Jaytee Osprey, 25 bar
