5-6; -2.35pts Round 1 plays (1pt): Carlos Rodiles to beat Gary Boyd -130 @ Unibet TIED Backing the in-form player; Rodiles has finished 2nd in his last two starts on the European Challenge Tour. Santiago Luna to beat Inder Van Weerelt -115 @ Five Dimes LOST by 1 A couple of good performances in his last three European Tour starts gives Luna the edge over Van Weerelt in terms of form. Having finished ahead of his opponent in each of the last two years here, Luna deserves to be the favourite in this matchup. Fredrik Andersson Hed to beat Lee S. James -123 @ Unibet WON by 9 James finished 2nd on this course in 2002, but since then his record reads: 75th, mc, mc, wd, mc, mc. With a 2-8 h2h record against Andersson Hed over the last 12 months, James should struggle to beat the Swede this week. Robert Coles to beat Francois Calmels -149 @ Unibet LOST by 3 Both players have good course form with top-10 finishes in the last two years, but Coles is by far the better player: in their last 13 common events, Calmels has finished ahead of Coles just once. Roope Kakko to beat Andrew Butterfield -161 @ Unibet LOST by 3 Three cuts made (including 7th and 11th) in Kakko's last four starts at Aa St Omer compares well with Butterfield's four missed cuts in his last four visits. With Kakko having made every cut in the last eight months and having secured two top-10 finishes on the European Tour last month, he should finish a long way ahead of Butterfield in this event. Round 2 plays (1pt): Sam Walker to beat Andrew Butterfield -110 @ Five Dimes LOST by 4 Branden Grace to beat Alessandro Tadini +101 @ Unibet LOST by 2 Andrew McArthur to beat Thomas Feyrsinger -140 @ Five Dimes TIED Phillip Archer to beat Jose-Filipe Lima +138 @ Unibet LOST by 3 Andrew Coltart to beat Marc Cayeux -125 @ Five Dimes WON by 5 Round 3 plays (1pt): Peter Baker to beat Thomas Feyrsinger -133 @ Unibet WON by 7 Fredrik Andersson Hed to beat Adam Gee -137 @ Unibet TIED Ake Nilsson to beat John Parry -111 @ Unibet WON by 7 Chinnarat Phadungsil to beat Anthony Snobeck -135 @ Five Dimes WON by 6
