Hassan, who won the world 10,000m and 1500m titles at Doha in 2019, has tested her form over a range of distances this year, clocking 8:33.62 for 3,000m indoors, followed by 14:35.34 for 5,000m and 2:01.54 for 800m outdoors.

Meanwhile Britain’s world 200m champion Dina Asher-Smith is hoping for her first sub-11-second clocking of the season after managing to set a season’s best of 11.35sec when winning in the opening Diamond League meeting in Gateshead last month, running in heavy rain and a 3.1 metres per second headwind.

Nigeria’s world and Olympic medallist Blessing Okagbare, who has a season’s best of 10.90, and home sprinter Dafne Schippers, the two-time world 200m champion, are also in the line-up.

American Fred Kerley, who has run 9.91 and 9.96 over 100m in recent weeks, will switch to his main distance of 400m to seek an improvement on the 44.60 season’s best he recorded at the second Diamond League meeting in Doha last week.

Uganda’s world 800m champion Halimah Nakaayi will start her 2021 season over her specialist distance against a strong field that includes four in-form Britons in European 1500m champion Laura Muir, European indoor 800m champion Keely Hodgkinson, Jemma Reekie and Adelle Tracey as well as Norway’s Hedda Hynne and France’s Renelle Lamote.

In the men’s 800m Elliot Giles, who broke Sebastian Coe's 1983 British indoor record when he ran 1:43.63 at Torun earlier this year, the second-fastest time ever, lines up for his first outdoor race of the year over that distance, taking on cpmpatriots Max Burgin - who set a European under-20 record of 1:44.14 in Ostrava last month - and Daniel Rowden.

Tony van Diepen, one of The Netherlands’ top performers at the World Athletics Relays in Silesia, is also in the field.

Sweden's Mondo Duplantis, holder of the pole vault world record whose 23-meeting winning streak was ended in the driving wind and rain of Gateshead last month, will be back in action against a field that includes Brazil’s Olympic champion, Thiago Braz,

Olympic champion Omar McLeod of Jamaica, racing in Europe for the first time since September 2019, leads the men's 110 metres hurdles field.

The Jamaican, who has a season’s best of 13.11, will take on France’s European indoor champion Wilhem Belocian, who will be making his 2021 outdoor debut.

Qatar’s world bronze medallist Abderrahman Samba takes on Turkey's Olympic bronze medallist Yasmani Copello in the men’s 400m hurdles, while European indoor champion Femke Bol contests the women’s event in what will be her first outdoor race over barriers this year.

All three medallists from this year’s European Athletics Indoor Championships - Maksim Nedasekau of Belarus, Gianmarco Tamberi of Italy and Thomas Carmoy of Belgium - will renew their men's high jump rivalry, with Canada’s Rio 2016 champion Derek Drouin, returning this season after injuries that have kept out of action since 2017, also in the field.
