Confirmed is Eilish McColgan, Jess Warner-Judd, Miriam Dattke, Francine Niyomukunzi
It will be also the GB selection for Paris games (trial like)
Looking at the entry portal it seems there are a fair number of 27:30-28:00 type guys who I've not heard of, obv this being a great/last chance to have a real crack at the OLY standard.
Also would point out that like previous years a number of the bigger names won't be on the portal yet but, currently listed (across Men's A + B & Women's A + B):
Leanne Pompeani - AUS Celestin Ndikumana - BDI Francine Niyomukunzi - BDI Desire Niyomwungere - BDI Micheline Niyomahoro - BDI Emile Hafashimana - BDI Egide Ntakarutimana - BDI Therence Bizoza - BDI Carlos Diaz Del Rio - CHI Mohamed Ismael - DJI Sergio Paniagua - SPA Abdessamad Oukhelfen Ben Haddou - SPA Hannu Granberg - FIN Eero Saleva - FIN Bour Felix - FRA Valentin Gondouin - FRA Emmanuel Roudolff - FRA Ellis Cross - GBR Jack Gray - GBR Eilish McColgan - GBR Jess Warner-Judd - GBR Phil Sesseman - GBR Abbie Donnelly - GBR Jenny Nesbitt - GBR Clara Evans - GBR Jake Smith - GBR Mahamed Mahamed - GBR Dewi Griffiths - GBR Nils VOIGT - GER Miriam DATTKE - GER Tabea THEMANN - GER Konstantinos STAMOULIS - GRE Francesco GUERRA - ITA Yohanes CHIAPPINELLI - ITA Alberto MONDAZZI - ITA Luca URSANO - ITA Pietro RIVA - ITA Iliass AOUANI - ITA Anna ARNAUDO - ITA Yves NIMUBONA - RWA Awet Nftalem KIBRAB - NOR (formerly ERI) Oliver LÖFQVIST - SWE Mohammadreza ABOOTORABI - SWE (formerly IRI) Joy CHEPTOYEK - KEN Paul Chelimo - USA & Andy Butchart was announced yesterday

Is there any chance they’ll have pacing lights at this event? Seemed to make a huge difference at the Ten recently so I hope they’ll have them here too.

Yes, there's been pacing lights at the last few.
I'm surprised Patrick Dever isn't on the entry list. He needs a second 10k to get a ranking if he has any hope of making the British team for Paris
People say its a great meet. a lot of euro guys and women will be trying to get Rome QT at least. Would bet that no additional guys go sub 27 on the night. The meet commentator could be busy if the BDI runners feature.
Hopefully McColgan smashes it, everything seemed to be going right for her up until that injury .... Will be interested in watching it, seems a really nice lass.
