Aspinall will take on Gerwyn Price on Tuesday evening as six nights of action begin and it is not all about making it through, it is about writing the wrongs after losing to Dimitri van den Bergh at the World Matchplay.

“It’s my own fault if I get beat because I’ve been lazy. I wasn’t really prepared for the Summer Series or the Matchplay which, again, is my fault. It was the kick up the backside I needed.

“But after the Matchplay I have been putting the hours in and working hard. I’m a guy that thrives off confident and adrenaline. In practice this week I hit a nine-darter against Lewis and the rest of the day I was frightening because it changed my mindset.

“As soon as Tuesday comes I’ll be trying so hard to get that win. Then I know I’ll be guaranteed to be in the next phase of the Premier League. Then the confidence I get from that early win hopefully I can go on to cause some serious damage.”

In terms of the behind closed doors atmosphere, he admits it's an issue as he feeds off the crowd: “It was a combination of everything really. It was the same for all 32 players but I just really struggled to adapt to the surroundings.

"Gezzy and me were the same, we love the crowd and adrenaline. The louder the better, so I did struggle but Dimitri was the better player on the night."

“I thought about the bigger picture. I now know what the Premier League is going to be like and get prepared for that to kick off, hopefully how I left off in March.

“As soon as the Matchplay finished I was obviously disappointed. But that was just one tournament knockout. So it was done, out of my head. But for me I want to finish the Premier League strong and make that top four. "
