Northern Ireland Trophy 2008 - Graeme Dott 1.5 pts E/W 66/1 (Paddypower), 1.5 pts 1st 1/4 (12-1, SJ)


2006 World Champion Graeme Dott had well documented problems with depression last year causing a sifnficnat drop in form. However, his latest performance in Berlin may indicate that he has put these problems behind him,. He won in Berlin by beating John Higgins in the Semi Final (5-4) and Shaun Murphy (6-1) in the final. If he repeats this level of performance in Northen Ireland, he will be one of the leading contenders for this event. I asked for 2 pts E/W with Paddy Power, was limited to 1.5 pts E/W (even less by Stan James!)

Macguire is the favourite in 1st 1/4 (where Dott is). Macguire complained of a possible rub injury in Berlin - I'm unsuire whether this has been sorted. However, this only encourages me to back Dott. I've therefor also had 1.5 pts at 12-1 at Stan James (asked for 4pts, limited to 1.5pts).
