This filly is a bit hit and miss and looks difficult to catch on the right day. She opened her account for Hogan two starts back when winning over C&D off a mark of 51, but then was disappointing when returning over C&D off a 5lbs higher mark. She returns once again to run over her C&D win and remains off 56; however, the key for me here is Shane Foley returns to the saddle, his only other ride on this filly was when she won two starts back, and I think his booking here today is a strong indication that the yard thinks she can win this.

Broke his duck at the 9th time of asking last time out at Wincanton and certainly seems to be enjoying chasing more than he did hurdles. He was runner-up on debut over fences, beaten by a runner who went on to win again off a 6lb higher mark, albeit over hurdles, and then last time out scored a comfortable success. He has to contend with a 6lb rise; however, the way he won seemed to indicate there is more to come over fences. That was James Best's first time in the saddle, and he retains the ride here. I would be disappointed if he couldn't follow up here.

There is not usually much between these two; they have met five times, with Scutt leading 3-2 in the PC events. The last meeting saw a 6-3 win for Whitlock at the PC23 in 2024. Simon Whitlock has worked hard to get his spot here this year by winning the ANZ Premier League, and he will not want a first-round exit. He does have a decent record here, made the final in 2010 and has made at least the last 16 on six other occasions. Scutt has won his two previous opening WC matches 3-0, so he has experience and had a decent run at the Grand Slam of Darts last month, but he still has a habit of not turning up at times. Think this will be close, and can see The Wizard from Aus coming out of the battle with it going the distance.

Jonny Clayton has been a bit disappointing of late, and he will be the first to admit that. He has only made three finals this year, the Winmau World Masters (Feb) and PC25 (Aug), where he was defeated, whilst he won the PC14 (Apr), but has finished the year off in poor form. Adam Lipscombe is making his World Championship debut and comes here on the back of a decent performance at the PC Finals, where he beat Menzies (6-1) and Bradley Brook (6-2) on his way to the last 16, where he was narrowly beaten by Gurney (9-10). He will give Clayton a game, but Jonny loves the Worlds. He has made at least the last 32 of the last 6 tournaments and should get through here, but I can see him dropping a set.

It's a World Championship debut for Andy Baetens, and he looks up against it with Dirk van Duijvenbode heading into his 7th World Championship. With a quarter final in 2021 and Last 16 in both 2022 & 2023, it's hard to argue against DvD winning this. He has gone out in his opening match at the last two World's; however, they were against better players than Andy, and DvD will be looking to put it right this year and avoid a third early exit. Baetens' performances over the last couple of months are a major concern for him; if he doesn't improve, which I am guessing he won't, then this should be an easy 3-0 win for van Duijvenbode.

Martin Lukeman leads the head-to-head 2-0 with 6-4 & 5-2 wins; however, they came in 2021 and 2022, meaning a lot can change in that time! There is not a lot between the two players in terms of stats, which would indicate it could go the distance, which I think it will, with the German Hopp coming out on top. Lukeman has won his opening match in each of the three World's he has competed in, so looking to end that trend, whilst Max Hopp has won his last four opening matches at the Worlds, so something has to give! It's almost a flip of a coin this one, I am just edging towards Hopp to win 3-2.

I don't see anything other than a 3-0 win for Peter Wright here, he won this in 2020 & 2022, was a finalist in 2014 also and made the quarter finals last year. Yes, he is not as good as he once was, or others have excelled the level of quality, but he is still good enough to make progress at tournaments. Skipping over the controversy around Noa-Lynn van Leuven, they suffered a 3-1 defeat in the opening round last year to Kevin Doets and against a player of Wright's quality, I do not see them getting a set win here.

It's hard to pick out too many career highlights for David Cameron; he does have 36 career titles, but the majority are low-value North American tournaments, and his win in the 2022 Seniors World Masters is probably his standout. He won the Las Vegas Open earlier in the year, but it's not exactly the most competitive of events. Compare that to Mensur Suljovic, who won seven events for prize money of £10k or more, including winning £100k for the Champions League of Darts in 2017. In terms of quality, it is night and day in my opinion, and Suljovic should be winning this without dropping a set.

There has been a bit of talk about Charlie Manby coming into the World Championship with a few tipping him to have a good debut. He is up against Cameron Menzies in the opening round, who we know can have issues on the big stage. Manby has had a decent year on the Development Tour, having made at least the quarters at ten events, and he won the Development Tour 16, and he beat Rob Cross 6-5 at PC33. Having said all of that, I still think Menzies wins here. He got through a tricky first-round tie last year with a 3-1 win over Diogo Portela, and the year before, he beat Rusty-Jake Rodriguez 3-0 in the opening round, so he has the experience of the big stage even though he doesn't seem to go far. Cammy had a great run at PC11 earlier in the year, averaging 107.25 in the final to beat Peter Wright 8-3. Anything near that performance and Manby wouldn't stand a chance here.

Only three-year-old in the race and comes here on the back of a win at Chelmsford, but is only off a 2lb higher mark than that win. Her only other win, which came back in August, came on the turf at Windsor off a mark of 53. This 56 is a career high, but it's not too far above both her wins. She showed a liking for the all-weather last time out on just her second start on the AW; her other ten all came on turf. Jack Mitchell seems to get a good tune out of her; the last two times he has ridden her, she has won both races, so it's good to see him retain the ride here, as he knows her well. She has plenty more to come with experience and certainly has a chance to follow up here today.

Brendan Dolan has twice made the quarter finals of the Worlds, with those coming in 2019 & 2024. Last year, he went out to MvG at the Last 32 stage, having won his first match 3-0 (Lok Yin Lee). This will be a World's debut for 'The Dude'; he has really struggled at the Players Championship this year. These two actually met in October at the Players Championship 34, and Dolan came out a 6-2 winner. In the set format, I struggle to see Dudeney managing to secure a set, so for me, a straight-sets win for Dolan.

James Hurrell has eight career titles to his name, all of which were small events like the Scottish Open, but it shows he is capable of putting wins together. Buntz has three career wins, which have all come on the ADO tour and all came over ten years ago. Buntz just lacks the quality that Hurrell possesses. His last 16 in the Players Championship Finals was a great run, knocking out Clayton (6-3) and Woodhouse (6-1) and performances like those will be enough to win this comfortably.

You have to side with The Bullet here, he has won both previous head-to-heads, albeit some time ago, he has made the semi-finals in two of the last five Worlds, with a quarter-final appearance in that time too. Sebastian Bia?ecki's only appearance at the Worlds was in 2023, and he was beaten 3-2 by Jim Williams in the opening round. Bia?ecki is not the worst of players, but I don't think he will be a match for Bunting here, who should have no problems booking his spot in the next round with a 3-0 win.

Not sure what is going on with The Dreammaker, he has been so poor this year and surely has to bounce back sooner or later! His run at the Players Championship 34 did offer a glimmer of hope; maybe he is starting to turn that form around. He has a decent record here, quarter-finalist twice and semi-finalist in 2023, and if he is to turn his form around, this is the perfect stage for him to do that. Beveridge will be no easy feat; there is a reason he is the favourite to win the match, but with his experience here, I think Dimitri can pick up a much-needed win, but expecting it to go all the way.

Plaisier is not exactly coming here all guns blazing with three poor performances at the Players Championship, and his 2025stats are down, just a 47% win rate. Wenig is going to be full of confidence and can make a winning Worlds debut with Plaisier, good enough to take a leg.

These two met at the European Darts Open this year when Brooks came out the 6-5 winner, so that will give him a bit of confidence heading into this, but this stage is much different. He knows that as well; he has had a 3-2 first-round defeat in each of his two previous appearances. Cullen usually does well here; this will be his sixteenth consecutive appearance at the Worlds, with three last 16s in the last five. I think Cullen excels at the Worlds, and Brooks is going to be on the wrong end of a 3-1 scoreline with another first-round exit.

I would be very surprised if Kumar managed to get anything out of this game. Veenstra and Kumar are not in the same league. On the PDC Tour, Kumar has a 27% win rate with an average of 80.98 compared to Veenstra's 59% win rate and 90.78 average. Veenstra has 12 career titles; Kumar's only success came in an India Qualifying Event. Veenstra made the last 32 (beaten by MvG) in 2024 and will be looking to put last year behind him when a shock 3-0 defeat to Toylo. This should be one of the most reliable 3-0 wins in the 1st round (famous last words!).

A very good chance for Dom Taylor to progress on his debut at the Worlds as he faces the Swede Oskar Lukasiak. We have already had one Swede upset a Brit in the 1st round, but I don't see this going the same way. Dom is having a decent year; he is averaging 93.22 this year, which is considerably better than Lukasiak's 85.38. He has made the quarters or better at four Players Championship events this year and was unlucky to lose to Gilding at the Finals after averaging 99.43! Lukasiak won't offer much; he has six consecutive opening-round defeats in the Players Championship events and will likely get whitewashed here.

Ritchie Edhouse will be looking to improve on his record at the Worlds, he failed to win a single game at the 2025, 2024 & 2023 tournaments and really needs to put that right here today. His last victory came back in 2022 when he beat Peter Hudson 3-2. He does average well, and whilst not coming into the tournament in decent form, he is up against Jonny Tata, who he should be beating every day of the week! If he wants to go well this year, then he needs a confidence-boosting victory here, which is why I have opted for 3-0.

Ted Evetts surprisingly has a decent record against Humphries; he beat him 6-0 back in 2021; however, all of his wins came before Humphries found his winning touch, and the two players' abilities are no comparison these days. Humphries is averaging just under 100 this year compared to Evetts' 88. This should be a whitewash; however, there has just been something about Humphries the past few months, he has been a slow starter, and he has been sloppy at times, his first round exit at the Players Championship Finals an example of that, which give Ted a chance of landing himself a set here but Luke should get the win in the end.

Jeffrey de Graaf has not had his most standout year, but he usually goes well here. Last 32 in 2024 and then last 16 last year, he should have too much quality for Lim, and this should be a straightforward whitewash.

Probably not the way the yard wanted her to do it, but she broke her maiden tag at the 22nd time of asking last time out over course and distance, albeit in the stewards' room after finishing runner-up before being promoted to winner. She has been put up 4lbs for that, but retains her 5lb claimer, which could prove key. Runners in a class 6 here at Wolverhampton who broke their duck last time out after 10+ runs over C&D have a 23% strike rate next time out, so she has a chance of following up here.

This should be fairly straightforward for Gary Anderson, a veteran at the Worlds, he was a back-to-back winner in 2015 & 2016 and a beaten finalist in 2011, 2017 & 2021. When you talk about experience, Anderson is the perfect example. Adam Hunt has actually beaten Anderson the last two times they have met, including at the Players Championship 18 this year, but this stage is different; Anderson comes alive here! Of the seven times they have met, only one has resulted in a whitewash; however, based on Adam Hunt's form this year (40% Win Rate) and this being the Worlds, I have to go with The Hunter to demolish Hunt here.

Luke Woodhouse is a bit like Ross Smith in my opinion, there is doubt the ability is there, but he just doesn't show it enough for me, which is highlighted in his lack of title wins, he has 1 compared to Krcmar's 16! These two met twice back in 2022, Krcmar won 10-5 at the UK Open and then 6-3 at the European Tour. Krcmar made the last 32 of the World's last year, and this will be his 6th appearance, whilst Woodhouse is making his 7th appearance; he made the last 16 last year.

Probably the tightest of todays matches, Gilding has experience on his side with this being his 7th appearance, he has made the last 32 three times in the past.

Can won five Development Tour events this year and is certainly a player on the up. Having said that, for me, experience counts for a lot here at the Worlds, and Gilding has been here and played well. This year may have come a bit too soon for Crabtree; he will push Gilding, but will probably lose in a decider. But Crabtree is one to keep an eye out for in the future.

David Davies actually went further in both the Players Championship 33 & 34 than Vandenbogaerde, and he will see this as an opportunity to make a dream debut here.

Generally, the games between them have been close. Lennon hasn't had the best of years; his win rate (45%) is below his career average (57%). The pair have experience, this will be both of their 7th appearance at the Worlds. Heta has the better of the records, but as previous games between them have shown, they are usually tight.

He is averaging 92.70 this year and made the quarters of the Grand Slam of Darts last month. Evans is just a handful to deal with.

Smith will be looking to go better than last year, much better after his 3-0 loss to Nebrida. I find him very frustrating at times. There is no doubt ability there but it's just getting it out of him on the big stage. If he turns up here, then I don't think Harrysson has a chance, and it should be a whitewash.

This could give a chance for Cor Dekker, who is making his Worlds debut; however, he isn't exactly coming here in cracking form, either, failing to make it past the first round of four of the last seven Players Championship events. Cross will know that he needs to big performance this year, the 2018 winner also made the semi in 2024 but disappointed last year. I think we are going to see a determined Cross this year. He knows in terms of the order of merit that he needs a big performance, and with his experience here, I am expecting him to get off to the perfect start.

Ryan's experience at the Worlds should count for a lot. He has made at least the last 32 at each of the last seven tournaments, including three last 16 appearances. Landman has only been here twice and went out first round last year. Could this be the year that Searle goes close? I think he starts with a win, but Landman should be capable of stealing a set.

He has gone out in the opening round of the last five of those, which doesn't exactly bode well here. His average is not the worst compared to Razma; it's 90.21 vs 85.19 in Razma's favour, but Jamai does have a decent win rate this year (72%) compared to Razma's 50%. I think Madars should come through here with his big stage experience; however, I think the young Dutchman will make him work for it via a deciding set.

Littler made the last two finals, winning last year. Labanauskas' best finish was the quarter finals in 2020, and he went out in the first round last year, losing 3-1 to Ryan Joyce. There is nothing to suggest to me that Darius can take a set, let alone trouble littler here; it should be straightforward for the reigning champ.

Smith has met Ashton four times so far, and he has won all four; however, only one of those was a whitewash. The last time they met was in 2022 at the Grand Slam of Darts, and Smith was made to work for it in a 5-3 win. And I think Lisa is good enough to take a set here against a Smith, let's not forget who is still getting his game back after a long absence with injury, but should still be good enough to overcome Ashton here.

It's not the most thrilling opener for the tournament. We have Huybrechts, who looks to be on the decline, against Merk, who has never hit the heights. Huybrechts' win rate of just 43% this year is quite alarming, but the key here is experience; this will be his 15th Worlds compared to Merk, who is making his debut at the age of 33. Merk has averaged over 10 points less than Huybrechts this year alone. There will be nerves from the German, and I think that probably results in a clean sweep for Kim in this opener.
