It’s the 11th day of the PDC Home Tour and SimonWhitlock, Alan Tabern, Kirk Shepherd and Mike van Duivenbode are all in action.

The first match of the evening sees Whitlock take on a youngVan Duivenbode, who should not be underestimated as he looks a prospect.However, Whitlock’s experience and scoring power should see him come out ontop.

Whitlock has mixed it with the best in numerous majorsemi-finals and he’s going at 2/5 in the match betting. He’s also 3/1in our special King of the Oche market, which requires him to win the match,hit the most 180s and have the highest checkout.

Two former World Championship finalists go head-to-head inarguably the highlight of the evening. Shepherd reached the 2008 WorldChampionship final but he’s failed to realise his potential since then and canbe backed at 9/4 in the match betting.

Whitlock should have too much for Shepherd and a handicapbet looks interesting. The Wizard of Oz can be backed to 11/10 -2.5 legs.
