Michael Smith and James Wade will feature in blockbuster clashes in the 1st Round of the World Grand Prix.

The Team Unicorn duo have been handed tough draws in what is arguably the strongest field seen at the City West Hotel in Dublin.

Smith plays former World Champion Adrian Lewis, while former WGP winner Wade takes on Mensur Suljovic.

In all seven Unicorn stars will be involved in Dublin when the tournament gets under way on September 30.

Gary Anderson starts his bid against Welshman Jonny Clayton. If he wins, Anderson would face the winner of a big all Unicorn 1st Round match between Jeffrey de Zwaan and Kim Huybrechts.

Elsewhere, the in-form Ian White plays Josh Payne and Joe Cullen takes on Ron Meulenkamp.
