6-2; -0.71pts

Pre-tournament plays:

BACK 1pt

Joost Luiten 80  24th
Nicolas Colsaerts 340 (and lay 1pt in-running @ 240) MATCHED  3rd
Raphael Jacquelin 400 (and lay 1pt in-running @ 280)  mc
Luiten has a very good record at Wentworth - last year he was the first round leader, the year before he finished 11th and the year before that he finished 12th, having been 4th at the start of the final round; already a winner on Tour in September, he back be backed to be a contender this week
While still a long way short of the form that saw him play in the 2012 Ryder Cup, Colsaerts has secured four top-5 finishes in the last year and has enough class to trade at lower odds during the week
The same can be said for Jacquelin who was 5th at the start of Sunday's final round in Italy; it has been six years since he secured a top-5 finish here, but in his current form (he finished 13th in his start prior to last week's Rocco Forte Open), he is another who could trade much lower during the week

 

LAY 20pts liability

Branden Grace 34  9th
Alexander Levy 60  51st
Danny Willett 160  58th
Victor Dubuisson 170  24th
Jeunghun Wang 190  mc
Grace has produced some good finishes on the PGA Tour recently, but it is difficult to fly back for one European Tour event and then return to the PGA Tour, so I would him price him a little higher than this
Levy won on his last outing, the China Open four weeks ago, but this is a much stronger field and he has broken 70 only once previously around this course
It seems a very long time since Willett won the Masters Tournament in April 2016, his form has slump, he has sacked his caddy and withdrew after the opening round of the Players Championship citing back issues as a result of swinging poorly
In four events this year, Dubuisson has withdrawn twice and missed the cut once - that does not look like the profile of someone who will contend this week
Wang won the Qatar Masters in February, but since that win, he has finished in the top-50 just once in eight starts, so I would price him at double these odds
