I think Billy should get one. Jay is a no currently but under review.
Billy should definitely get one.
liam, Jan, Billy, Arthur, for sure. And maybe Thiem or Raonic. Then see where the 3 challenger titles go. Thats 8, possibly. Ryan would be my outside pick but not sure he really has a chance or deserves one this year.

Too early to say for me. Would like to see some excellent form on grass first.
Shame we havent seen excellent form on clay! But Billy getting not one but two wins in the RG qualies stakes a big claim, whether it be grass or clay, it is recent and it is at the required level.
Paul Jubb doing well in Georgia this week and showing he is generally a level above the Charles Broom and Giles Hussey's who are playing there also.
He did of course lose to Henry Searle recently and I think those two, plus Oli Bonding as National Junior Champion will get wildcards for qualies.
They give 2 to the wild card playoffs finalists, I believe, so that would in fact make 6 allocated based on assessment above - are there 9 qualies wild cards in total, or just 8?
My current view is
Main draw - Liam, Jan, Billy, Arthur, Thiem/Raonic, 3 Challenger title winners (possibly)
Qualies - Paul, Henry, Oli B, Jay, 2 LTA WildCard Play off winners, plus 3 others??

Not sure Oliver C deserves anything seeing as he is only just become a Brit and seems to be avoiding the grass.
I guess it depends on what we see as deserving - I agree, by the way - depends if he did a deal with the LTA maybe? I am sure, from a financial perspective, he would intend to play qualies. Of course he is in qualies anyway, on ranking, just remembered, duh
