European Championships

[Fader]

This gets started tonight. It's on ITV4. Looking at the draw, I'm going to take one main player from the top and one from the bottom and then a  couple of big outsiders with a squeak.

Top half houses MVG. Back to winning ways at the Champions League. I like Chisnall in this half though and this is mainly in the hope that MVG goes out against capable opponents such as Durrant, King or Cross. The value is more in the bottom half. I like Price and Wright here. Wright is in such good form right now, winning multiple events and making finals. It really looks like a Price Vs Wright Semi-final to me.

In terms of outsiders, I'll continue to back Ratajski here and Merv King is a real rough diamond. Capable of beating anybody on his day.

2pts E/W P.Wright to win 11/1 boylesports
1pt E/W D.Chisnall to win 28/1 boylesports
0.5pts E/W K.Ratajski to win 33/1 paddypower
0.5pts E/W M.King to win 150/1 betfair

Tonights 1st round matches :

G.Durrant Vs R.Evans
A.Lewis Vs S.Whitlock
R.Cross Vs D.Webster
J.Wade Vs J.Clayton
MVG Vs R.Smith
D.Gurney Vs W.O'Connor

I'm going to go with Merv King to beat Cullen tonight. Cullen actually has a good record against King, Winning the past 3 encounters. But, I think King has the best recent form of the two. I'm also taking Darren Webster on the handicap, as Cross isn't in the best of form.

5pts M.King to beat J.Cullen evens bet365
3pts D.Webster (+2.5 legs) to beat R.Cross evens bet365
