Verdict

Van Gerwen likes it here and still pops up every now and then though looks held by DAPPER MAN on recent Pontefract form. The latter gets the nod as Paul Midgley’s other runner, James Watt, finished behind Not On Your Nellie at Beverley when the latter didn’t get the best of runs. Mews House wasn’t beaten far off this mark at Newcastle in March and Gullane One could also go well if fully wound up.
