James Wade
Having reached two finals in 2015, knocking out Phil Taylor in his favoured World Matchplay in the semi-finals and dispatching world number one Michael van Gerwen at the same stage of the Perth Darts Masters, another big scalp looks to be more a matter of when not if.
At 25/1 for the World Championship title Wade is certainly worth a flutter, as he has reached the semi-finals on three occasions before, and this year of revival could see the final push. A favourable draw should also see The Machine reach the quarter-finals before facing any other prominent household names.
Dave Chisnall
Yet to truly follow that up, the talent is there for all to see, as Chisnall recently pulled a stunning nine-darter out of the bag, his first on TV, at the recent Grand Prix of Darts. Capable of anything on his day, Chizzy is an outsider always worth a punt.
Raymond van Barneveld
At a fantastic 50/1, backing former world champion Barney as an outside shout looks a no-brainer, as the elite arrowsmith has shown he still has x-factor in abundance, with recent semi-final finishes at the Grand Slam and Auckland Darts Masters under his belt hinting at a build-up to a big win.
Michael Smith
This is reflected in his odds of 50/1 to pluck the World Championship trophy, placing Bully Boy, also a Grand Slam semi-finalist, on the same price pedestal as Barney.
Keegan Brown
At 250/1, up and comer Brown is a true outsider, but he is also bursting with potential. Just ask Adrian Lewis, The Needle’s most recent scalp in the last 16 of the first World Series of Darts Finals, who does not appear to relish facing this young Englishman.
