Sihwan Kim - 0.5 points each-way @ 50-1 (Skybet)

Course looks ripe for a long hitter to flourish and whilst Kim hasn't finished off his recent events he can still boast a bubndle of top-15 results. An excellent US college player, it won't be long before he contends throughout. I am unconcerned about his last two m/c, both after poor first rounds - the way this course is set should suit him more.

Steven O'Hara - 0.75 points each-way @ 50-1 (Skybet)

O'Hara takes a drop down in grade following a top-20 in the higher class Austrian event won by Wiesberger and although hardly prolific, there is nothing wrong with his approach play which has led to mid-field finishes in decent Europan events. Improvement in his putting will see him hold a position throughout this new event and whilst probably not that relevent, he did finish runner-up in Norway a few years ago.    

Jeppe Huldahl - 0.25 points each-way @ 66-1 (Skybet)

Not sure how he won the 2009 Welsh Open given his nervous state down the stretch, but win it he did and with an excellent display in poor conditions. That was a while ago now but he does pop up on the board from time to time and the Challenge Tour has thrown up all manner of results this year, so why not? His last-time out top-20 stands with a couple of other decent results earlier in the year but the most crucial factor is that he will feel comfortable in Norway having won the 2008 running of this event - ironically from O'Hara. He's worth the poke.
