And the Scottish star will be determined to bounce back from his recent poor display in the World Grand Prix by reclaiming the Prague crown jewel.
Luke Littler is also set to feature after his World Grand Prix rant which was motivated by a first-round exit.
The likes of Luke Humphries, Michael van Gerwen and Stephen Bunting will all be in contention to lift the title.
However, a lot of the attention will be on Mike de Decker after his shock win triumph last weekend.
