Luke Littler starts as a strong favourite to retain his BOYLE Sports World Grand Prix title, with the bookmakers installing the world number one as the 4/7 market leader.
Luke Humphries is next in the betting at 11/2, reflecting his consistent form and status as a former champion. Gian van Veen and Gerwyn Price share 12/1.

There could be some value in six-time winner Michael van Gerwen who is available at 14/1 as he looks to add to his impressive record in the double-start format. In addition he will be coming off the back of the World Series of Darts Finals that he has often seemed to enjoy and be galvanised by.
If you are looking for longer odds why not look at the second of Wales’s former champions on the list. Johnny Clayton (pictured) is ranked in the worlds top 5, has won an event this summer and has lifted this title before. He, importantly, never seems scarred of Master Littler and is great value.

Further down the list, Gary Anderson and rising talent Wessel Nijman are both priced at 25/1, with Jonny Clayton and Josh Rock at 28/1. Two-time champion James Wade sits at 33/1, while the rest of the field is available at 40/1 or bigger.

With Littler opening his title defence against Luke Woodhouse on Monday night, attention will quickly turn to whether the young star can justify his short price or if one of the more experienced challengers can upset the odds in Leicester.
