Following the conclusion of the second round at Crans-sur-Sierre, Thomas Bjorn and Stephen Gallacher lead the way at the top of the leaderboard on 10-under-par.

But this year's Omega European Masters looks set for an exceptionally tight conclusion, with 10 players within two shots of the lead at the halfway point. Casting a glance even further down the standings, there are some players we are banking on making a late surge for the title.
