19:05 Mark Williams v John Higgins
John Higgins
Win Match
50 WIN
@-142
Win
35
These two have played 46 times over the years, and even though I thought the scores were close, John is 27-19 up on Mark. They have never met in this competition so far, and current and past results make this a close match again. I still had to side with John to win.
John Higgins -1.50
Handicap Betting
50 WIN
@-111
Win
45
In previous matches these two have played 13 times over the longer formats (first to 9 up to first to 18), and Mark is 7??"6 up. The overall winning margins have been from 1 to 3 frames. As I have bet on John to win, I have bet him in the handicap with a -1.5 start.
John Higgins 10-8

On the overall matches played, John has a big advantage over Mark, winning 27??"19. But the longer format is much closer, with Mark winning 7??"6. I have gone for John to win this 10??"8, as most of their matches have been decided by 1 to 3 frames. John, however, is 5??"2 up on Mark in the race to 9 and 10, whereas Mark is 5??"1 up in the race to 13 and higher. Another close call is on.
19:00 Wu Yize v Chris Wakelin
Wu Yize
Win Match
50 WIN
@-277
Lose
-50
Since winning the Shoot-Out a few years ago, Chris has been making a name for himself and reached a ranking of 13. His opponent, Wu Yize, however, has been in sparkling form, losing out in the semifinals of both the Welsh and World Opens. As Chris can be inconsistent, I have to back Wu to win this match based on his current form.
Wu Yize -2.50

On current form, I have to think that the 1.75 given for a -2.5 handicap start for Wu Yize is a good bet. He has only been beaten narrowly in his last two tournaments in the semifinals by Barry Hawkins and Ronnie O'Sullivan. That form shows his current well-being.
Wu Yize 10-5

Wu Yize has lost out in the semi final of the Welsh and World Opens in his last 2 tournaments. He has reached a ranking of 12 and although these are ranked 12 and 13 I think that Wu is in better current and overall form than Chris and can win this 10-5 but he cannot be underestimated.

This one failed to win in Ireland and was quite poor. He improved to finish 3rd over 19.8f on British debut. A change of stable followed, with a win at Musselburgh. Latest: 3rd of 9 after a breathing operation; he needs improving, but the second run after has proved successful in the past. He has taken a long walk in the market but is worth another try at 16/1.

This one has only won twice, with both races coming at Leicester in early 2024 off a high of 92. He often runs his race but can lack in a finish. As this doesn't look a strong race and he owes me a fortune, I am taking a chance on making him my NAP today.

This one is a multiple winner both on the flat and over hurdles. His last two runs off higher marks haven't been as good. He drops 1 lb and one grade for this. The jockey was on for four of his last six wins. He could be worth another go off this mark on only his second run here.

This one is a winner in France but has yet to finish better than 2nd on these shores. He went close several times, including last time. Although the stable and jockey form has dropped of late, this one could give them a welcome winner.

13:00 Barry Hawkins v Thepchaiya Un Nooh
Barry Hawkins
Win Match
50 WIN
@-136
Win
37
Despite Thepchaiya winning the World Open recently, I don't think he will beat Barry. They have played seven times, with Barry winning all seven, mostly by a clear three frames. Having hit form, Thepchaiya is more than capable of winning, but his previous form was very mixed. Barry has been in form himself, winning eight of his last ten matches. Barry has to be the pick to go 8-0 up.
Barry Hawkins -1.50

With Barry having won all of their previous 7 meetings with 4 going to a clear 3 frames victory I have to side with Barry to win the handicap with -1.5 even though 3 have been by only 1 frame.

If Thepchaiya carries his recent form from his win in the World Open he could be a force to reckon with but he has always been inconsistent and has a 7-0 previous scoreline to think about against Barry. As Barry has won 8 of his last 10 recent matches showing that he is in good form I think that he could again run away with this match and 10-6 is the pick.

This one hasn't shown a lot so far, but her two best runs have come over this trip, with her best here over C/D. The stable have had three winners from their last six runners, with this jockey on for two. He has ridden three of their last four winners and could get another, with that form the best on offer.

This is a horse that I used to follow on the Flat and had 4 so a from here, including a treble from her first 5 hurdle races off a high of 115. She was not as good off higher marks after including on debut for this stable, but has returned to better form on the Flat of late. As the middle leg of the treble was over this C/D off 104, she could at least place despite being off her last winning mark of 115.

This one keeps finding 1 or 2 too strong. His last win was over 7f at Kempton in December under this jockey off 69. He has maintained a fair level of form and, being only 1 lb higher than his last win, could win his first race here under the same jockey.

These matches could go to the final frame given the standard of play recently. Mark is certainly no back number when on form, but he hasn't been very consistent of late, so I have to bet Judd to win on the head-to-head rival with a -2.5 start.

Trainer is banging in the winners and this jockey usually rides this course well with a good strike rate here. This one was off for 22 months, denied returning to finish a decent 3rd over C/D last time. He should strip fitter for the run and could be value at 1.67.

In a race where the form on offer doesn't look that strong, I have gone for a horse that could win on debut for a trainer who can ready one. This trainer was in flying form a couple of months ago, but his form has dropped a lot. He has a good strike rate and could easily get back on track with the jockey going quite well.

Trainer has two in this with this one the outsider of the pair. I am not so sure that this one will do better on faster going, as his latest second was on heavy. His previous two runs over course/ distance were totally opposite to the latest, off lower marks on good and soft. He is only 3 lb higher than his last win, so if he handles the going he could prove best.

He was well beaten in his only other race here in September 2023 and runs off a 3 lb higher mark today. He could be worth an each-way bet at 28/1.

This one won 2 of his first 4 races in July ’22 and Apr ’23 off a high of 111 with 2 seconds between. The last was over 8f on his only run here. He hasn't won since then, but his mark has dropped considerably and, as a consequence, he has been running better, albeit on the A/W. He runs off only 1 lb higher today and, back on turf, could make that low mark pay dividends.

This one has walked further than the Olympic event in the market, going from 4/1 to 14/1. He won last time over 19.7f under this jockey off 104 and only goes up 4 lb to an all-time high of 108 in this slightly better race. He has only won three times. His first two were back-to-back races in Nov/Dec 2024, the second of which was under this jockey off 98, 6 lb higher than the first win. I am hoping that history repeats, and he is worth the E/W to follow up again with the jockey going 3 for 4.
