Soudal Open 2023 - Rinkven International GC, Antwerp

 Frustrating weekend in Italy last week when Yannik Paul went into reverse when the course setup changed to suit the bombers. He may very go well here this week but with a putting performance on display the opening two rounds that I saw, he won't be on my stable at the odds available this week.

Just the selections from my 15-man shortlist and it would have been more but prices have been slashed since Monday on a couple of them, especially Max Kieffer who I was quite keen on but seriously, 33/1 ?? Adrian Otaegui I can understand as he won the Knockout tournament here and was solid last year too in finishing 15th but I can't justify 16s now. Ferguson has dipped in form of late but I do think he is the sort of player that can simply show up any given week and Rinkven will be suitable (lowly 58th last year though) and @ 40s though he too needs to be passed up. It's not an overly strong field (Detry & Bjork vying for market leader!) so I'm hoping Thorbjorn Olesen's run last week has shaken off the rust as he failed to post a t-20 for the first time this season and he's worth taking @ 20/1 - 8 places

I'll side once again with Jeung Hun Wang this week at the price 70/1 - 8 places and I'll be interested to see how 40yr old Alejandro Canizares goes given he's been in fine form this year posting 3 T-20s from his 6 starts, a best finish 4th at The Australian Open whilst his compatriot, Alejandro Del Rey is still to find the consistency that his game definitely has to convert to results but @ 90/1 - 8 places thought was worth another interest.
