It's quarter-finals day in the Welsh Open and while Zhao Xintong is one of the more promising Chinese players this season, he may do well to keep tabs on Stuart Bingham.

The Essex cueman, who has seen off Ali Carter, Matt Selt, Martin O'Donnell and Robbie Williams in Cardiff, has had the bit between his teeth a lot more since his six-month betting ban in 2017 and it's like he's making up for lost time.

He's been in more of a mood for winning titles since his suspension and he could claim a place in the semi-finals before Zhao wins three frames.

Defending champion John Higgins and Neil Robertson are favourites to survive outings against surprise packages Joe O'Connor and Kurt Maflin, and there's a tough-to-pick clash between Hossein Vafaei and Scott Donaldson.

Recommendation
S Bingham -1.5 frames
