A strong line-up is also set for the women’s 200m, with British record-holder Dina Asher-Smith taking on two-time world champion Dafne Schippers, Olympic 400m champion Shaunae Miller-Uibo, reigning Olympic champion Elaine Thompson and six-time Olympic gold medallist Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce.

In the men’s 400m, European champion Matt Hudson-Smith returns to action in his local stadium, while the women’s 800m features American Ajee Wilson, second-quickest in the world this year, plus GB’s in-form Lynsey Sharp and Commonwealth bronze medallist Natoya Goule.

Paralympic champions Sophie Hahn and Kadeena Cox are among the entries for the women’s T35-38 100m.

The women’s long jump is set to welcome heptathlon stars Nafissatou Thiam and Katarina Johnson-Thompson as part of a stacked field which includes world indoor champion Ivana Spanovic, who returns to the city where she won the aforementioned title. Lorraine Ugen is on the hunt for a world qualifying standard and will be looking thrive on the occasion in the West Midlands.

Athletes to have withdrawn from the event include British hurdler Andrew Pozzi and high-jump star Mutaz Essa Barshim, due to ‘small and non-serious’ niggles.
