Round 2 plays (2pts):
Richard Green to beat Oliver Fisher -154 @ Pinnacle [also available @ 5Dimes]
Two players inside the top-10 at the end of day one, but that is more of a surprise for Fisher than for Green: whereas Green has top-10 finishes in two of his last three starts, Fisher hasn't finished in the top-10 since the Qatar Masters in January. With a 23-6-1 h2h record in rd1 and rd2 and 2015 in Green's favour, he certainly warrants short odds at this stage of the tournament.
Soren Kjeldsen to beat David Horsey +100 @ SkyBet
Two players in form in this matchup, but there is still a notable edge to Kjeldsen's play: he has finished ahead of Horsey in seven of nine common events since April. He is also ahead after day one and would have had a share of the lead but for closing with two bogeys. He is still in the top-10 and looks set for another good week.
Joost Luiten to beat Nicolas Colsaerts -147 @ Pinnacle [also available @ 5Dimes]
And now two players down the leaderboard, but at least Luiten is inside the cut line - Colsaerts is three shot off that mark in 109th position and will struggle to make it to the weekend for the 5th time in his last ten events. Now 219th in the World Rankings, it seems a very long time since he was 32nd.
Chris Wood to beat Ross Fisher -110 @ Paddy Power
Fisher reached a high of 17th in the World Rankings six years ago, having won this event in 2008 at the London GC. However, the 2015 Fisher has missed his last three cuts and looks far less likely to hold onto his current 19th place position. Wood is in better form ranked 3rd in greens in regulation today, so his ball-striking is good.
Graeme McDowell to beat Rafa Cabrera-Bello -138 @ Paddy Power
Opposing another player outside the cut line. The Spaniard's form has been rather erratic recently and he clearly didn't play as well as McDowell who looked set to finish in a very high position on the leaderboard until he took seven at the penultimate hole. He is playing well enough to make amends tomorrow.
