MICHAEL VAN GERWEN is the 8/11 odds-on favourite to win the BetVictor World Matchplay title later in July.
The world number one is aiming to continue his brilliant run of success this year - which has included victories in The Masters and Premier League alongside six European Tour events - with a third World Matchplay triumph in Blackpool.
Van Gerwen is title sponsor BetVictor's 8/11 pre-tournament favourite following the completion of the 32-player field for the prestigious event.
Two-time World Champion Gary Anderson is the 6/1 second favourite with BetVictor, while reigning World Champion Rob Cross is 8/1 and 2017 World Matchplay finalist Peter Wright is 10/1.
Premier League finalist Michael Smith is 28/1 as he chases the title, while 2007 World Matchplay winner James Wade is amongst five players rated at 33/1 by the sponsors.
