Lenson Royale and Reculver Ozzie, the dog who lowered his colours in the last William Hill Springbok trialstake, renew rivalry in Saturday’s first round heats – now reduced to four qualifiers.
The brilliantly fast flat runner Jaytee Seville, third in the same preparatory effort has less to fear in the first heat of the night, though he will first have to see off the Jason Foster trained pair Priceless Sun and Sparta Impact
Heat three looks to be at the mercy of 29.34 (+20) trialist Final Farloe though Du Cane Road is the only runner with winning race form over the jumps.
Farloe’s trainer Tony Taylor is doubly represented in the last qualifier with Bizarro and Razldazl Godsend drawn in adjacent boxes, though both have time to find on the 29.75 trial form of Seamus Cahill’s Sallins Major.
