In-form Hodgkinson joins Judd, Baker and Dustin in BMC Gold Standard clash

Another young prospect to look out for is Oliver Dustin. The 19-year-old led home a British 1-2-3 at the European under-20 championships in Sweden last summer and will be up against the likes of Zak Curran, who has competed for Ireland at the European Championships. Also involved in the men’s 800m A Race are 2018 England under-20 indoor 1500m champion Luke Duffy, along with 1:49s 800m runners Harry Russell and Rocco Zaman-Browne.

There is tangible strength in depth in the women’s entries with steeplechaser Aimee Pratt – who raced at the World Athletics Championships last autumn – taking part in the 800m B Race. It is the same story with the 1500m, where Pratt’s Team GB steeplechase colleague Lizzie Bird takes on Commonwealth Youth champion Erin Wallace. Wallace, 20, bettered her 1500m time to 4:12.57s in Poland on Wednesday night, smashing her previous fastest clocking of 4:14.80s set in May 2018.

They will be joined in the A Race by 2015 European junior runner-up Amy Griffiths – who won the BUCS indoor title this year – four-time BUCS medallist Steph Pennycook, England 800m champion Kirsty Fraser and junior internationals Cesca Brint, Saskia Millard and Eloise Walker.

Beijing 2008 Olympian Tom Lancashire is also down for the 1500m, in what would be his first track race in two years. The 35-year-old is expected to feature alongside 3:42s runner Sol Sweeney who is a training partner of Laura Muir, Jemma Reekie and the aforementioned Wallace.
