Josh Goodall (likely to be seeded), David Rice and Sean Thornley are all DAs here. Marcus Willis is likely to be in the main draw too - he was the 1st alternate and the top seeds in qualifying are the 4th-7th alternates, though not in that order.

All three Brits will have to play extremely well to get any further. Zorlu was Turkey's second singles player in last year's DC tie, where he lost all 5 sets he played, but has since beaten Alex Ward.

None of the Brits survived QR2, though Lewis pushed our old DC foe Zorlu very close:
QR2: Miles Bugby WR 1234 lost to (q2) Adam Chadaj (POL) WR 667 (CH 202 in 2005) by 6-4 7-6(5) QR2: Lewis Burton WR 1384 lost to (q9) Ergun Zorlu (TUR) WR 856 (CH 810 in 2007) by 7-5 6-7(4) 7-6(4) QR2: Richard Gabb WR 1166 lost to (q6) Jiri Kosler (CZE) WR 797 (CH 605 in 2009) by 3 & 2
As for the main draw, it's deja vu - Klein in R1 for Meatball last week, Dr No this week - and once again, the winner of Sean's match plays the winner of the Klein match in R2 ... but this time there's a third Brit (Marcus again) in the top quarter too!
L32: David Rice WR 481 v (1) Brydan Klein (AUS) WR 228 L32: Sean Thornley WR 553 v Yann Marti (SUI) WR 596 L32: Marcus Willis 593 v Nikola Cacic (SRB) WR 583 L32: (5) Josh Goodall WR 404 v (WC) Efekan Senolsun (TUR) UNR
At least Josh has a decent draw ...
