Ronnie O'Sullivan and Robertson are favourites to win the Northern Ireland Open. Trump prefers to enter and try to won every event. Defending champion Allen is a hard one to weigh up. He won the Champion of Champions and theNorthern Ireland last two seasons. He should expect a quiet spell after his recent run to the final of the British Open, however.

Allen is defending his title at the Northern Ireland Open. Mark Selby had a tough year in Hong Kong but he's playing well again. Kyren Wilson is a player who deserves to be involved in the tournament. Trump is always hard to beat in Belfast. He hammered Barry Hawkins to win the European Masters recently. He's a good bet.
