Mikko Ilonen 28
McIlroy is justifiably the favourite from this position, but I wouldn't price Ilonen as this price amongst the five joint-leaders - the last three times that he has been leading after 36 holes on the European Tour, he has finished 1st, 2nd and 1st ... certainly value at these odds

- - There must be more 6's and 8's at Golf de National by players going well than any other venue on any Tour over let?s say the last 20 years. While there is a lot of quality near the top of that 36 hole leaderboard this year, this course separates the chasing pack every year, and a well-placed 69 or 68 by anyone in the top half can give them a real shot at almost anything, though I know Sunday will qualify as excruciating.
McIlroy has the all around game that really does suit this examination. He might be due some magic on the season, but I am still inclined to doubt his clean play from here upon reading his Thursday comment, ?"I've got about four or five swing thoughts out there at the minute, so that's why I'm sort of happy with 71 with how much I'm focusing on my golf swing and my technique," making Stanley?s tip on Ilonen that little bit more attractive . . . At the start I definitely had a look at Jaidee, but didn?t expect he was ready to close, while I passed on Cabrera Bello because I didn?t like the skinny odds on him getting comfortably in the mix, but now that he is engaged, IMO he is in the form of his life . . . Sadier was my French longshot to start the week and I?ve been tracking him for 36 holes to call this a play I?d kick myself over if I went and pulled the trigger on someone different.
