Outright plays (total stake per play: 1pt)
Scott Dunlap to win 25/1 e.w. @ BetFred
Secured a top-10 finish last week despite closing with a 76 and it signalled a return to form after not playing a Tour event between February 2004 and the South African Open two weeks ago. Under the circumstances, his 40th place finish was very creditable. Coming to a course on which his form reads 2nd and 5th, this could yet be his best week of 2005.
Keith Horne to finish in the top-four 10/1 @ Expekt
By contrast, Horne has been very busy, playing on both the Asian PGA and the full Southern Africa Tour last year. It was a schedule that has resulted in seven top-5 finishes in the past 12 months and that includes one in this event when every round was 68 or under. However, he has not won since 1998 when he was a wire-to-wire winner on this Tour, so the place-only option looks better than the 50/1 e.w. available with SkyBet.
Andrew Butterfield to finish in the top-four 17/1 @ Expekt
Also opting for a place-only play on former European Tour player, Butterfield. He has never won a Tour event, but he finished 5th last week and that was his fourth top-5 finish since May last year, the others coming on the European Challenge Tour. He does have course experience and opened with a 64 to be one of the early leaders last year, so these look generous odds for just a top-5 finish.
