Another new MODUS Super Series week gets underway, and this looks like a particularly interesting field because there are several very different form lines coming into Portsmouth.
Aden Kirk heads the market and also sits highest of the field in the Q4QS rankings. He is currently Q4QS No.59 with an 88.17 average, and there has been plenty of evidence recently that he can produce considerably more than that. Kirk averaged 90.01 across a run to the last 32 of Challenge Tour 21 and produced individual match averages of 100.20 and 95.67 along the way. tournament_narrative_pack_20260…
Harry Ward is virtually alongside him in the Q4QS numbers at No.60, and comes into the week following an excellent Challenge Tour 22. Ward reached the semi-finals, winning six matches and averaging 89.85 across the tournament, including a 96.85 in his win over John Henderson. tournament_narrative_pack_20260…
Radek Szaganski gives the field another player with plenty of experience and arrives with improving Challenge Tour numbers. His last two events produced tournament averages of 87.09 and 86.02, with four wins at Challenge Tour 22. tournament_narrative_pack_20260…
But perhaps the most interesting player in the entire field from a Q4QS perspective is Michael Wiles.
Wiles is 10-0 across his last ten recorded matches and has been collecting Vault titles. One recent Clacton victory came with a 94.08 tournament average, while his recent results also contain individual match averages above 107. He may not have the profile of some of the names above him in the market, but his current numbers make him very difficult to ignore. tournament_narrative_pack_20260…
There is another strong form line with Petri Rasmus, who comes in after winning the Swedish Open with seven straight victories and an 87.26 tournament average. He has won nine of his last ten recorded matches. tournament_narrative_pack_20260…
Jeff Smith brings plenty of experience and some strong CDC form. He has reached two recent CDC semi-finals and is 8-2 across his last ten, while Jamie Kelling is another player whose recent local results deserve attention. Kelling is 9-1 in his last ten and has been winning regularly on the Vault circuit, including an Andover title with an 87.51 tournament average. tournament_narrative_pack_20260…
Gemma Hayter shouldn't simply be overlooked either. Her recent results include a PDC Women's Series semi-final and quarter-final, followed by a final at Fareham. She has won eight of her last ten recorded matches. tournament_narrative_pack_20260…
Jamie Atkins, Jim Widmayer and Nico Plovier complete the players for whom I have recent Q4QS data, while Robert Thornton is the one player in this week's field who isn't currently matched in this particular Q4QS export. tournament_narrative_pack_20260… tournament_narrative_pack_20260…
