It’s that time of year again where all the attention turns to the green baize of Sheffield for the Snooker World Championship.

Two-times champion, Ronnie O’Sullivan is the Boylesports market leader at 3/1. The Rocket has been in the news for all the wrong reasons of late but will hope to make headlines for his snooker talent at the Crucible.

Last year’s beaten finalist, Mark Selby leads the chasing pack at 11/2 with Stephen Maguire 13/2 while 2005 Champion Shaun Murphy can be backed at 8/1.

Defending champion, John Higgins is good value at 12/1 along with Ding Junhui with Irish hopes will be resting on Ken Doherty at 25/1.
