There will probably be a few WC's given to GB girls in Wrexham, with Katy Dunne being a possible qualie WC if her name stays on the entry list. Also I think that Tara will not be there as her 1st choice of tournaments is the Astana 100K where she is currently 3rd alt for the main draw.
Tara has w/d from Astana. I find this rather baffling as she would in all likelihood have made the MD, and should be moving up from 25K's, if she really wants to progress, she has IMO the game to do so.

The Ireland entry list looks incredibly weak for a 15k. Richard Gabb is second on the entry list with a ranking outside the top 600 (although Tom will have overtaken him since).
Also, Jack Carpenter is playing Turkey and could be seeded as high as 3.
Wild cards at Wrexham for Manisha Foster, Jessica Simpson, Katy Dunne & Katie Boulter
More points - but disappointed on a personal level as i was going to watch the qualifiers and hoping to see them play. Mel South will be gutted as she will have to qualify.
Pippa Horn is in qualifying though - that may be interesting.
