Michael Lorenzo-Vera of France leads the field after two rounds at 6-under, the Challenge Tour graduate continuing to show his good form in his first season among the big boys. Waif-like big hitter Marcel Siem is in second place at 5-under, while Richard Green and Pablo Larrazabal share third place at 4-under.

Jarmo Sandelin and Mikko Ilonen both carded impressive 66s, while Barry's Kyron Sullivan had the unfortunate honour of shooting the highest score of the day at 85, which could be good news or bad depending on whether he got a Cup Final ticket.
