Betting preview

Gary Wilson's dream run to the semi-final of this year's Betfred World Championship has given him the belief to deliver on a more consistent basis and the Tyneside Terror should comfortably see off Nigel Bond in the last-16 of the Betway UK Championship.

Wilson's scoring prowess has always made him a difficult competitor but his results haven't always reflected his true ability.

However, things have clicked for the Geordie since his heroics in Sheffield and he has carried on at the York major this week in a similar vein.

Wilson has made seven centuries across his three Barbican Centre assignments, four of which came in consecutive frames in the 6-4 come-from-behind win against Chris Wakelin.

His emphatic 6-1 victory over Joe Perry in the last round also featured two ton-plus visits and his scoring may be too hot for Bond to handle.

Betfair go 5-6 about Wilson making the first century and that may represent a touch of value.
