Mikko Korhonen - 0.75 points each-way @ 33-1 (Skybet)

Tipped last week, he flew on Sunday to finish 13th after a last round 66, continuing a run of form that reads two top-10s and five top-20s since May. Mikko finished top-50 in the 2011 Challenge rankings and judged on recent play may be surpassing that and giving himself the chance to retain the main Tour card he gained in 2010. Apart from the brilliant Broberg, he is probably the best of the short ones and is just 22-1 with 365.

Steven O'Hara - 0.50 points each-way @ 40-1 (Bet365)

The Scot did us a favour last week placing at 50-1 after being ever-present throughout Norway and there seems little reason to oppose him now he has hit form. 18th in the better class Austrian event on the main Tour, that 4th last week came via four decent and consistent rounds, finishing with a closing 65. He hasn't won yet on Tour but if he continues that impressive GIR stat, it cannot be long.

John Parry - 0.25 points each-way @ 100-1 (Bet365)

Okay, Parry is out of form missing five of his last six cuts but a Links environment will suit him as he showed when leading and finishing third in the Dunhill Links in 2010. It is tricky to know whether or not these former decent main Tour players will regain their confidence but he spoke well ahead of the seasonal opener and  does have two top-5s this year crucially at windy, undulating venues. 

Roope Kakko - 0.25 points each-way @ 66-1 (Skybet)

Kakko has appeared on main/co-sanctioned leaderboards from time to time, yet still appears too nervous to land his second title since 2004. Nevertheless, he likes it in Denmark, finishing top-3 the last couple of times the event was played in the country. Hard to predict although he is capable of low rounds already shooting a 63 and two 65s in the last month, and it is hoped the return to a favoured location may spark a bit more self-confidence.
