Hills cut Taylors Sky to 2-1 after support

Hills Press release: Razldazl Jayfkay and Bubbly Phoenix will face off in a slamming quarter-final clash of the williamhill.com Greyhound Derby on Tuesday night, with the ante-post heavyweights priced at 11-10 and 5-2 respectively to come out on top at 9.10pm.

Proceedings stepped up a gear with 48 dogs becoming 24 last Saturdayevening at the third-round stage – ante-post market-leader Jayfkay maintained his unblemished record with success in the second heat, although sponsors William Hill eased Dolores’s star to 7-2 from 5-2 in the outright market, while Bubbly Phoenix was cut to 6-1 from 8-1 after clocking the flashiest time of the round.

The opening quarter on Tuesday sees reigning champion Taylors Sky – at an enhanced Tuesday morning price of 5-2 with Hills - attempt to hold back the Razldazl charge of Rioga and Bugatti (both 9-4), and in the second qualifier, Young Sid (7-2) and Judicial Ruling (3-1) tackle the gutsy Shelbourne Geoff (10-3). They later cut Taylors Sky to 2-1.

William Hill spokeswoman Lucy Rhodes said “Things get serious on Tuesday when 24 bid to book one of only 12 tickets to the semi-finals, and with the two big-guns Jayfkay and Taylors Sky still in the mix plus some exciting newcomers to the fray, sparks are sure to fly”
