Wright a hot favourite on BoyleSports World Grand Prix night two

BoyleSports World Grand Prix (Lawrence Lustig, PDC)

Peter Wright is being well backed to win a battle of former World Champions on the second night of darts action at the BoyleSports World Grand Prix in Leicester.

Number two seed Wright begins his campaign as an odds-on 1/3 shot against 2018 World Champion Rob Cross.

Northern Ireland's Brendan Dolan, the 2011 runner-up, has been backed into 1/2 from 4/6 to emerge victorious when he raises the curtain on night two against Darius Labanauskas of Lithuania.

The closest betting heat of the night is the clash between Nathan Aspinall and Krzysztof Ratajski, with the former the favourite by the narrowest of margins at 4/5, while Ratajski is an even money shot to tee up a second round clash with either Wright or Cross.

The final two matches of the first round feature the hottest favourites of the night, with Michael van Gerwen 2/9 to see off compatriot Danny Noppert and Jose de Sousa a red hot 1/7 to proceed to the last 16 at the expense of Glen Durrant.

De Sousa also features alongside Peter Wright in the BoyleSports Full House double, with the pair now enhanced to 11/2 from 5/1 to win their matches with the most 180s and highest checkout.

Lawrence Lyons, spokesperson for BoyleSports said: "The Nathan Aspinall v Krzysztof Ratajski match stands out from a betting perspective on night two at the BoyleSports World Grand Prix with punters split almost 50-50 as to who will come out on top, so we can barely separate them.

"It's one-way traffic in the final three matches of the evening with Peter Wright, Michael van Gerwen and Jose de Sousa all backed heavily to book their places in the last 16."
