Verdict

Trainer Paul Midgley has his string in decent form at present and his CAPTAIN COLBY can improve on the trainers 17% strike-rate (4/23) in recent weeks. The selection finished a close third in a competitive event at Newmarket last time out and with similar conditions forecast here he can get the better of Van Gerwen who has run well on a sound surface in the past and can reverse Pontefract running with Tawny Port who has shown his best form on softer surfaces than he's set to encounter in this.
  1. Captain Colby
  2. Van Gerwen
  3. Tawny Port
