Seven Dutchman are in the field so the home fans will have plenty to cheer about, but the favourite remains Welshman and returning champion Gerwyn Price.

Queen Of The Palace

Fallon Sherrock, who this week qualified for the PDC World Championships of Darts, will also be in action. 

The Queen of the Palace is actually the second seed on account of her runner-up finish in the Nordic Masters in Copenhagen a few weeks back.

Despite that, bet365 have priced her up at 100/1.

To be fair, she only needed to win two matches to reach that final after her scheduled opponent in the quarter-final, world number one Gerwyn ‘The Iceman’ Price withdrew from the competition with an injury. All the same, her comeback against the Dream Maker Dimitri van den Bergh in the semis was still hugely impressive.

There is a nervousness about those that have to play her and in this case, it will be the winner of the first-round match between Krzyzstof Ratajksi and the big German Gabriel Clemens.

The Draw

The top half of the draw features two of dart’s current big three, world champion Price, his compatriot Jonny Clayton, who has enjoyed a great run the past 12 months, plus Dutch local hero Michael van Gerwen.

The other member of darts big three, Peter Wright, finds himself in the considerably softer bottom half of the draw, where the main threat would seemingly be Michael Smith, who looks like he is coming back into form.

The Scot is a 6/1 shot while his English rival is a far tastier 22/1, which given his win last week in the Players Championship is exceedingly tempting.

For Bully Boy to emerge victorious, he would need to overcome just three opponents, the first of which would be against Belgium’s Kim Huybrechts, who is ranked 33 in the world to Smith’s tenth.

Huybrechts is a rival who Smith has beaten on their last two meetings, the most recent of which came only one week ago in Barnsley.

On form, which admittedly he hasn’t been for some time now until recently, speedy Smith can beat anyone, and three victories will not be out of the question making 22/1 definitely worth your consideration.

That said, the big three of Price (1/3), Wright (6/1) and van Gerwen (3/1) — the latter of whom will have the luxury of home support — can never be ruled out. The same can be said for the player that is surely the player of the year, Jonny Clayton (8/1).
