1.5 pts e/w Jbe Kruger 25/1 (generally available)

Kruger has an interesting profile coming into this week. Twice in the last three years he has been bang in contention going into the last round in this event, on both occasions sitting just a stroke behind the leader. Having secured a breakthrough win - his first outside his home continent - almost exactly a year ago in the Avantha Masters he enters the tournament this year in solid, cut-making form and likely to have the confidence to finish the job should he be in contention again this time.

1 pt e/w Keith Horne 40/1 (ladbrokes)

OK Horne is not exactly the most dependable golfer down the stretch when in contention but he remains a very talented player, particularly on home soil. In good form and with a solid record in this event he looks good each way value at 40/1.

1.5 pts e/w Lorenzo Gagli 10/1 top continental European (betvictor)

Gagli has started 2013 as if he means business after a very poor 2012 on the main tour comes into the event in a rich vein of form having shot 11 of 20 rounds in the 60s so far this year. For a player who's main prowess has tended to be his tee to green game it's interesting to note that he topped the putting stats last week. With his game in such solid shape he looks well worth supporting in this particular market.
