Of course, Walden and Trump are threatening,but still experience rules..Selby vs Hendry should be an interesting one also.. An immediate Mark Williams vs Ronnie O’Sullivan matchup.

The one-year rating now is extremely tight from Steve Davis on 14975 in 13th to Stephen Lee on 13619 on 25th. Above them the top 10 have a buffer of 3000 or more - and are all player's in their prime or on the rise; it is hard to see any of those dropping out. The player on 11th can be said to be past his prime - but that does not say much as he is Hendry and he is also likely to remain. Walden on 12th seem to be the first candidate for not making it, but at 15825 he has a little head start, and is seeded for one event (SM) unlike many of the other contenders. He seems determined and able, and my guess is that he will make the cut. In that case that leaves just 4 places for the above mentioned 13 to fight about. Among those Perry, Ding, Ebdon, Williams & King have the advantage of holding current top16 seeding, which makes it a little easier to gather points. Still, Cope and Trump are hot tips for someone to make it difficult. I would like Williams, Ding, Cope and Trump to make it - but I sure wouldn't mind if old Steve Davis could equal this year's good season and get back in the top, I just find it hard to believe in seeing the opposition he is up against.

Bottom half very very tough. Robertson or Carter to make a break through and reach the final this time. Defending champs alwasy struggle so look for a new finalist from the top half.
