Outright plays (total stake per play: 1pt)

Steve Webster to win 16/1 e.w. available generally  6th
There is always a big question mark over the motivation of the more established Tour players when it comes to events like these - minor Tour events with plenty of European Challenge Tour players while the Tour's best players are playing in a bigger event overseas - but that should not be the case with Webster. There has been a dramatic turnaround in his game (and presumably focus) since the death of his mother two months ago and he has finished in the top-10 in his last two events against strong fields. Motivation will clearly not be an issue here and it would a fitting dedication to his mother if he were to win this week.

Carlos Rodiles to win 40/1 e.w. available generally  13th
Rodiles already has a top-3 finish this season (Open de Espana) and looks as though he may repeat the feat last week when starting very strongly in the Deutsche Bank Players' Championship of Europe. He did slide down the leaderboard on that occasion, but given that he opened with a 63 last year and was 1st or 2nd in each of the first three rounds last year, he should be confident of playing well again this week.

Richard McEvoy to win 66/1 e.w. @ Ladbrokes, Victor Chandler and William Hill  48th
McEvoy has plenty of experience around this course with three top-30 finishes in the last five years and while he has missed a lot of cuts, he did secure two top-10 finishes last month on the European Tour, one of which was in the similar strength Saint-Omer Open. Those recent top-10 finishes on the main Tour put him in rare company in this field, so he should be at lower odds than this which such course experience.
