Allen gets his campaign underway against Long Zehuang in Brentwood on Tuesday.

And he has already found his form after producing world class snooker at an exhibition event held at Alfreton Snooker club.

He wrote: "Excuse my positional play in the colours in max two 😂 back to back maxis last night in Alfreton exhibition…"
