Coral English Open quarter-finals tips: Higgins v Trump headlines last eight

In their two previous best-of-nine encounters, Scottish potter Higgins and Bristol break-builder Trump have gone to a deciding frame, with the Wizard of Wishaw triumphing both times.

This may make a 13/2 price for Higgins to win 5-4 again tempting, but a safer 27/10 says his match with the Juddernaught shall go the distance again.

Given how unpredictable the Coral English Open has been so far, it seems wiser to take the Higgins v Trump odds for there to be a deciding frame instead.

Hamilton to beat Liang Wenbo

The Sheriff of Pottingham has laid down the law to snooker rivals at this event with a rare return to form. Anthony Hamilton now tackles Chinese cueman Liang Wenbo – a foe we feel the Nottingham native can turn over.

Veteran Hamilton has demonstrated in shorter frame format snooker this week that the old magic is still there, and he should use all his experience to put pressure on his Oriental opponent.

Back Hamilton to beat Liang Wenbo at 15/8 and continue this incredible run at the Coral English Open.

Bingham to cover three-frame handicap (with tie) on Wakelin

Chris Wakelin produced the upset of the event so far by dispatching tournament favourite and five-time world champion O’Sullivan, earning an impressive 4-3 triumph over the Rocket.

Although, that victory may be the highlight of his campaign as former Crucible victor Bingham enters on the back of a dominant 4-1 success over Rhys Clark. Therefore, back in-form Ball Run to cover a three-frame handicap at 19/10.
