LUKE OUT, I'M BACK!

Littler says he's over rocky patch

- BY KEITH WEBSTER

LUKE LITTLER has warned his rivals that there are ominous signs he is about to hit form again.

After a shockingly-poor start to the Premier League season, where he won just one match in the first four weeks, Littler rebounded last Thursday in Cardiff, beating Josh Rock, Gerwyn Price and Jonny Clayton to take the week five honours.

Tonight in Nottingham, the back-to-back world champion arrives with his Cardiff win and his UK Open title defence against James Wade last Sunday, already in the bag.
