Outright plays (1pt):
Soren Hansen to win 33/1 e.w. @ Sportingbet, Sporting Odds and Ladbrokes
An inconsistent player at best or at least since his purple patch of form in June 2002. He played here for the first time in four years last year and despite being in very poor form at the time - no top-20 finishes in the previous five months - he finished a shot behind home winner, Maarten Lafeber, having led the event with one round to play. He quickly reverted back to his previous form thereafter, but it suggests a return to Hilversum may lead to an improvement in his current game, though he is playing nowhere near as poorly as last year: he has finished 20th and 26th in the last two weeks.
Gary Evans to win 33/1 e.w. @ Tote
Evans looks to be one of the form players in this field. He has five top-25 finishes in his last six starts and only Poulter can match that form. If the favourite does pull out as expected, Evans's odds really should fall. Not only is he playing very well, but he has finished in the top-10 in each of the last two years here. This price will certainly not last.
David Lynn to win 40/1 e.w. @ BetInternet and Ladbrokes
With three top-10 finishes in his last six starts, Lynn may also have reason to claim to be one of the form horses this week. He has played this course three times and improved on each occasion to finish 18th last year. He does look very capable of another top-10 finish this week.
