O`Sullivan 3/1 fav after World Champs draw + Higgins in to 9/2 from 5/1 + Davis 500/1

ROCKET FAVOURITE FOR WORLD CHAMPS

RONNIE O`Sullivan remains 3/1 favourite to win the World Snooker Championship, following yesterday`s (Thurs) draw.

But the Rocket`s closest challenger John Higgins is in to 9/2, from 5/1, after being handed a relatively easy route to the third round.

Ladbrokes spokesman, Nick Weinberg, said: "As always, it appears to be O`Sullivan`s to lose and he`s already attracted more bets than the rest combined."

Steve Davis is a 500/1 chance to lift the trophy.
