Ashton in particular will get ready for a busy few months which includes not only the PDC Autumn Series but also the PDC Women's Series so will get some competitive practice in ahead of that.

Kleermaker has been exceptional in his first year on the PDC Tour and could find himself at the Ricoh Arena in Coventry making his World Grand Prix debut in October.

The exceptional line-up is strengthened further by former World finalist Kirk Shepherd, former ranking winners Steve Brown and Mickey Mansell; as well as Nathan Derry and Polish ace Krzysztof Kciuk.

The broadcast starts daily at 09:30 am. All matches can be viewed via the streaming service PDC TV.

The top three players in each group, along with the five best fourth-placed players, will qualify for the 35-player second phase. The first phase will be played from August 31 till September 28.
