Paul Nicholson's five outsiders who could win World Grand Prix

Ross is the last player into the World Matchplay. He won on debut last year and is a big, big scorer. The draw pits him against Andrew Gilding in round one and one of James Wade or Martin Lukeman next.

Adrian Lewis is 125/1 to win the World Grand Prix with BoyleSports. Gary Anderson is 50/1000.

Adrian is searching for a new motivation or a different path. He almost didn't make this year's World Matchplay. Jose De Sousa is more under pressure than Lewis. He won't play at the European Championship. It might be a blessing for him as he doesn't like to play all events.

Dave Chisnall is 28/1 to win World Grand Prix.

Dave has won the Wieze Open twice and is in good form. Dave has a week off before the event. He plays a style of 501 which suits him better than most in the field. If Dave doesn't think he's good enough to win this tournament, he never will. If he believes like we do, Dave could dominate this format for years to come.

Dirk Van Duijvenbode is 28/1 with BoyleSports. Aubergenius is a new, improved and lethal player. He is defending a big chunk of prize money from two years ago. Jonny Clayton is his first opponent. He lost out in the final to Gerwyn Price in Amsterdam recently.

Danny Noppert is 25/1 with BoyleSports to win World Grand Prix. He has won a major ranking event and improved in every aspect of his game. Noppe is aiming to be in next year's Premier League. Paul Nicholson's five outsiders who could win the World GP.
