The U.K. Championship is snooker is the second biggest prize and all 128 players will descend on the beautiful York Barbican hall in pursuit of one of the triple-crown events.

The usual suspects will be at the front of the betting but they have some serious challengers this time round with a powerful quartet of Chinese players waiting in the wings and none more so than the sublimely talented Yan Bingtao who swept aside opponent after opponent in Belfast and only came up short against hall-of-fame player Mark Williams.

Along with Yan you have the super consistent Zhou Yuelong, the enigmatic talent that is Zhoa Xintong and former Shanghai Masters finalist Xiao Guodong so the heavy hitting top 16 players will definitely have their hands full come the business end of this tournament. From these shores I’ve been a longtime admirer of Jack Lisowski and truly believe that it’s not a matter of if but when is he going to win a major because he has all the tools needed to lift one of snooker’s big prizes.

Mark Selby raced back to form in Daqing winning the International Championship and Ronnie O’Sullivan has also been in imperious form winning the Dafabet English Open and the Shanghai Masters so all in all this promises to be a tournament not to be missed.
