Although two of the favourites, Shaun Murphy and defending champion Neil Robertson have been dramatically removed from the reckoning, there’s still plenty of the big guns involved.
Betway have Judd Trump as the favourite at 5/2 with Ronnie O’Sullivan 2nd favourite at 7/2.
Including reigning world champion Mark Selby, John Higgins, Mark Williams, Kyren Wilson… the list of contentenders is a big one!
Ding Junhui and Stephen Maguire have won the UK previously and could well be ones to watch.
Ding in particular will be looking to earn ranking points as the points he earned by winning the 2019 title will be removed after this event. His place at the Masters is looking in doubt!
