Sky Sports’ cameras will be on site to take you through all four days, with coverage beginning at 12:30 each day from Thursday to Saturday and then from midday for Sunday's final round.
Englishman Tyrrell Hatton, a LIV Golf member, will be teeing it up this week in the hope of gathering valuable world rankings points and he is the firm 15/2 favourite with bet365 to claim the spoils.
Matt Wallace and Tom McKibbin are both priced at 22/1, ahead of 25/1 Rasmus Hojgaard, while 2022 champion Thorbjorn Olesen and Ewen Ferguson come next in the betting at 28/1.
German ace Yannik Paul has shown a liking for this course, having finished 16th in 2022 and then eighth last year, and his tied-19th result at last week's Danish Golf Championship gives him some momentum coming into this event.
Accuracy on approach is a must on the Brabazon Course and the 30-year-old is sixth in greens in regulation on the DP World Tour this season, a huge positive given how difficult it can be to get up-and-down when missing the putting surface.
Paul's game seems suited to this layout and he looks to have every chance of landing his first title since the 2022 Mallorca Golf Open.
Another player that enjoys making the trip to the Belfry is Calum Hill, who was eighth here in 2021 before improving on that with a fourth-place effort in the 2023 edition.
The Scottish star was also ninth at this venue in the 2020 ISPS Handa UK Championship and he will be hoping a return can help improve recent results after missing the cut twice in his last three appearances.
Hill's short game is one of the best on tour - he ranks in the top 10 for strokes gained putting and one putts - and any improvement in his approach play this week can put him in the mix.
Thomas Aiken arrives here in solid form, having recorded back-to-back top-25 finishes at the Czech Masters and Danish Golf Championship, and it would be no surprise to see the consistent South African get into contention.
Staying out of trouble off the tee will make the approach shots much easier and the 41-year-old is third in driving accuracy this season, while his greens in regulation percentage is just shy of 68.
Add in his superb short game, which has the world number 367 seventh in both scrambling and strokes gained putting, and Aiken looks like a solid each-way shout.
