Day two
ITV4, 1pm & 7pm Tuesday

It's best of seven frames early on in the Coral World Grand Prix and given that Jimmy Robertson is already a title winner this season, Mark Davis may do well to progress before his opponent wins three frames.

Davis remains a fine match-player at his peak but he hasn't been at his best for much of the campaign, while J-Rob should be a much more complete and confident performer following his European Masters title triumph in Belgium in October.

Robertson is 8-11 with a handicap start of 1.5 frames and can make this competitive if he digs in early.

Judd Trump opens his title tilt in Cheltenham with a clash against Stuart Carrington.

Grimsby cueman Carring­ton is not the most consistent performer on tour, but he can be difficult to beat when he finds his form. He can be considered with a start of 2.5 frames, but opposing Masters champion Trump carries plenty of risk.

Recommendation
J Robertson +1.5 frames
1pt 8-11 Coral, Ladbrokes
