Snooker - Northern Island Trophy - 1pt Fu 66-1, 1pt Selby 50-1

I belive by far the easiest draw is the first quarter. The favoured players in this draw are Dott and Ebdon, but I don't fancy either of this players.

Dott is likley to underform under the pressure of being World Champion and Ebdon always reserves his best for the World Chamiopnship.

For this reason, I am backing Fu and Selby from this 1/4 to win outright. I think that is more than likley that one of these guys will make the semi-finals.

Fu has become revitalised after moving back to Terry Griifiths as a coach. He has since reached the World Semi Finals when he narrowly lost 17-16 to Ebdon.

Selby knocked out Higgin in the World Championship before losing to an inspired Mark Williams - this is great form.

Both are more than fair outright prices at 50/1 and 66/1.
