The draw has been made for the 2024 Attis Insurance Sports Division British Final to take place at Belle Vue on Saturday June 8.
And three former champions are set to clash in Heat 1 to give the national championship an explosive start.
Treble winner Chris Harris, 2016 champion Danny King and Grand Prix star Robert Lambert are all in the opening race, joined by Ben Barker who finished in a superb third place last year.
Defending champion Dan Bewley has been drawn at No.11 whilst Tai Woffinden’s first appearance since 2015 sees him line up at No.8, which means an immediate clash with 2021 winner Adam Ellis and another former champion Craig Cook in his first ride.
2019 winner Charles Wright meets 2020 champion Rory Schlein in Heat 4, with that race also including in-form Tom Brennan who was runner-up two years ago.
DRAW: 1 Ben Barker, 2 Robert Lambert, 3 Chris Harris, 4 Danny King, 5 Craig Cook, 6 Connor Mountain, 7 Adam Ellis, 8 Tai Woffinden, 9 Lewis Kerr, 10 Steve Worrall, 11 Dan Bewley, 12 Richard Lawson, 13 Rory Schlein, 14 Tom Brennan, 15 Charles Wright, 16 Kyle Howarth.
