Teejayspowerhawk can follow up his impressive 39.33sec heat victory in the semi-finals of the William Hill Grand Prix over 640 metres at Sunderland.

Paul Young’s runner can lead kennelmates Jayeee Osprey and Teejays Panther to the turn and go beyond recall.

Lowgate Jasper did everything wrong last week before coming through to win and can show his true colours by landing the third semi-final. Last year winner Farley Rio loves it here and is a major threat.

Kakantu is given a narrow vote to take the opening heat. Kevin Boon’s runner is capable of getting first run on his rivals and can hold the strong runners Dinzeo and Baliff Ray.

 

 

Pinpoint Maxi can take another step to regaining his William Hill Classic crown with victory in the semi-finals over 450 metres at Sunderland on Saturday.

The 2013 winner, who was fourth last year, impressed in the heats with 26.88sec and can soon have matter in hand.

His trainer could get two through the final as her Pinpoint Finas looks the main danger.

Romford Puppy Derby winner Laughing Gravy could be the answer to a wide open second qualifier.

In a field of front runners he can get first run on some closely matched rivals including Farloe Nutter, Droopy Alessio and Bubbly Ninja.

Northern Puppy Derby winner Kneejerkreaction, who clocked the fastest time in last week’s heats with 26.73sec, will take the beating in the third heat.

He can soon establish an early lead and hold top locals Conna Trigger and No But.
