As you all know the Betfair World Snooker Championship started this morning.

Any predictions on who's going to lift the trophy in 17 days time?

Here is my five that I think will win this year -

Neil Robertson
Ronnie O'Sullivan
Ding Junhui
Mark Allen

and my outside choice would be Mark Selby, solid player, but plays far too many scrappy frames, which may frustrate players.
