Trump will be defending the title after he beat Neil Robertson 9-6 in the final of last year's event.

The 32-man field includes Ding Junhui, Stephen Maguire, Shaun Murphy and Stuart Bingham among the top-name players. John Higgins will not feature after testing positive for Covid-19.
Despite the name of the tournament, due to Covid-19 restrictions it will take place behind-closed-doors in Milton Keynes.
All matches up to and including the quarter-finals will be played over best-of-nine frames, the semi-finals will be best-of-11 frames and the final will be best-of-17 frames.
This is the third of six events in the European Series, with a £150,000 bonus available for the player who tops the ranking list.
While Mark Selby is the current leader in pursuit of the bonus, the former world champion failed to qualify for the final stages of the event.
