Group 11
Monday June 8
It is to his credit that Mark Allen has enjoyed another consistent season, particularly in the early part of it, given his recent admission that he has split from his wife and is currently in the process of getting a divorce. He ought to have too many guns for the likes of Martin O'Donnell and Nigel Bond given he can so often operate below his best and grind out results in a way a younger Allen would not have been able to do. O'Donnell and Bond are both highly capable, though, and the latter will relish returning to terrestrial television screens after his memorable run at the UK Championship in December.
Group 6
Monday June 8
It's rarely dull when Ali Carter and Matt Selt are drawn against each other so Group 6 has the potential to be more interesting than many would expect. Carter reached the final of The Masters as recently as January to confirm what a wonderful, all-round player he remains and he could well have too much class for his trio of opponents in this group. However, I've always had a soft spot for Sam Craigie and this format has the potential to suit a young player who lacks for nothing in the talent department. Craigie reached the quarter-finals of the China Open last year so can clearly operate at the highest level and sooner rather than later he ought to make an impact on a more consistent basis than he has done so far.
