Cross becomes new favourite for World Matchplay title with title sponsors Betfred

Glen Durrant who is already through to the Quarter-Finals having dumped out Michael van Gerwen is 9/2 on; in joint second with Peter Wright who has been in imperious form as of late.

Michael Smith who like Durrant is already through is next up at 5/1 while James Wade who is the only player left in the field to have won at the Winter Gardens is 7/1.

Keegan Brown and Stephen Bunting on the other hand are seen as the two players least likely to win the title with the duo down in 66/1. These are the odds Ratajski started off at but likely due to the big names going out he is up to 40/1.
