Wade's Dublin title hopes could go west

Day two
Sky Sports Action, 7pm Monday

Peter Wright and James Wade start their World Grand Prix campaigns on Monday but the Machine's hopes of landing a third title could go west when he takes on Steve West.

Wade is a top-quality player but he has been a long way off his brilliant best for some time and although the double-in Dublin format suits the Aldershot arrowsmith more than some of his rivals he may struggle to contain West.

West is a capable thrower and showed he can perform on the TV stage when beating Michael Smith in the World Matchplay.

The Epping man can be pretty reliable on double-top and if he can get off in decent fashion he has the ability to outscore Wade.

Mervyn King loves a bit of double-16 action and he should be backed to see off Ronny Huybrechts in comfortable fashion.

King is 51 now but he still produces quality darts on a regular basis and has a game that is suited to the double-in format.

Huybrechts is nothing more than a solid performer, who mops up after any mistakes from his opponents. He is unlikely to be able to rattle the King, who looks a tasty 13-8 shot to win 2-0.
