Jonny Clayton -1.5 v James Wade ($1.65)
‘The Ferrett’ Jonny Clayton comes off a win in Liverpool last week and gets probably the easiest first round he could hope for in Belfast. Ferret is 5-1 all-time in TV matches with Wade. He has hit 16 180s at 0.3/leg v Wade’s 4 at 0.14/leg. He is doubling at 46% v Wade’s 36%. This has blowout written all over it.
