The penultimate week of this Modus Super Series, and is quite close on paper.
There are some players with a lot of Modus experience, such as Conor Heneghan, Darren Johnson, Chas Barstow and Johnny Haines. Connor, in particular always seems to play well here. Barstow has won many times here too, so these should be there or thereabouts,
Jim Long goes in the week as the favourite, and that's probably correct. He has performed well on the Modus Series previously and is a very experienced player.
James Wilson is not far behind and his Pro Tour experience and quality will certainly help him make it through the Saturday's finals night.
However, my pick, is one of the outsiders. Tavis Dudeney has had a great end to his season and looks to be in form . He won the penultimate PDC Development Tour event, beating 2024 World Youth finalist , Jurjen van de Velde. Dudeney is part of a wave of young players coming through the ranks quickly and this his well within his grasp. The stage experience is perhaps a downside, however he may be a player that thrives on it. So we will wait and see.
