Hosts England, who won the World Cup in 2014, have exercised their right to have two teams entered in Bethnal Green with England A among the favourites.
Darren Appleton and Mark Gray, both stars of Team Europe’s record-breaking 11-3 victory over USA at December’s Mosconi Cup, are reunited while Daryl Peach will team up with Imran Majid in England B – Peach was a finalist alongside Gray at the last World Cup.
Scotland return to the event for first time since 2013, when they suffered a first-round defeat to eventual finalists Holland. But, in Jayson Shaw, they probably have the world’s most consistent player at present and they could outperform their current odds of 16/1 if Shaw can drag Pat Holtz up to the same level.
The Netherlands look to have a strong team with Niels Feijen and Nick van den Berg and are priced up at 10/1, the same odds as the USA. The Phillipines, holders Chinese Taipei and China are also prominent in the betting for the tournament in which there are no second chances.
