Which of the 16 qualifiers should go furthest?

Which of the 16 qualifiers should go furthest? and can any of them win the title? -

[cue1]

Very difficult to predict nowadays

But the ones I think may go further than others are: Ryan Day, Matthew Stevens, Stephen Lee & Martin Gould :snooker:

Whatever "It" is Gould has it!!
He has massive self belief, always has!
I can see him doing very well this year.

I think if Matthew Stevens beats Mark Allen, he could reach the semis. As for the other qualifiers I think they all have tough draws, this may be one of the only times all 16 seeds go through to the 2nd round.

I don't think there is any chance of all seeds going through, too many games could go either way
M. Williams v R. Day
S. Hendry v J. Perry
S. Bingham v P. Ebdon
M. Fu v M. Gould
M. Allen v M. Stevens
I think these matches are difficult to predict a winner.

I see 12/13 seeds going through. To go the furthest?

Here's one from left-field, how about Stuart Bingham. Certainly someone from the top half.

I see Stuart Bingham and Matthew Stevens as the players with the best chances of getting far, but I doubt we´ll see a qualifier go further than the quarterfinal. With a luckier draw Stephen Lee probably could have gone far, had he been in the upper half I wouldn´t have counted a semifinal impossible.
