The first match of the evening sees Whitlock take on a youngVan Duivenbode, who should not be underestimated as he looks a prospect.However, Whitlock’s experience and scoring power should see him come out ontop.

Whitlock has mixed it with the best in numerous majorsemi-finals and he’s going at 2/5 in the match betting. He’s also 3/1in our special King of the Oche market, which requires him to win the match,hit the most 180s and have the highest checkout.

Simon Whitlock v Kirk Shepherd (21:00)

Two former World Championship finalists go head-to-head inarguably the highlight of the evening. Shepherd reached the 2008 WorldChampionship final but he’s failed to realise his potential since then and canbe backed at 9/4 in the match betting.

Whitlock should have too much for Shepherd and a handicapbet looks interesting. The Wizard of Oz can be backed to 11/10 -2.5 legs.

Alan Tabern v Simon Whitlock (22:00)

The experienced Tabern locks horns with Whitlock in thefinal match of the evening. Tabern is a former UK Open semi-finalist and hecould prove tricky for Whitlock at 9/5. This match should go to the wireand over 7.5 legs can be backed at 5/6.
