Gian van Veen vs Carl Sneyd prediction

Gian van Veen has had some troubles on the oche this year but the World Championship runner-up is undoubtedly a class act and cannot be ruled out of the running for this title.

The third seed was beaten heavily by James Wade in the World Grand Prix quarter-finals, then went down 10-6 to Luke Woodhouse at the European Championship, and it's been a while since we've seen his best game.

Carl Sneyd won his Tour Card at Q-School in January and makes his debut after coming through the Tour Card Holder Qualifier, so this is something of a free hit for him.

Van Veen should win, but we do not think he is in the form to run away with it, and we fancy Sneyd to keep it fairly close.

Gian van Veen vs Carl Sneyd tip: Carl Sneyd +1.5 legs
