Shaun Murphy's set to get back on winning trail: VIDEO

Four years ago the former Rotherham-based potter beat Marco Fu 10-9 in a gripping final in Telford, and having reached the last-16 at the Barbican, he is keen for more glory.

The Magician found his rhythm in a 6-3 first-round victory over Robert Milkins, and will now meet fellow former world champion Graeme Dott for a place in the quarter-finals.

After admitting he should have won more major titles in his career, the 30-year-old hopes to remain in York for the duration of the tournament.

"My mum keeps telling me I should have won more and mums are normally right," said the world no.4.

"I would have liked to have added a few more trophies to my trophy cabinet, of course I would, but having got the biggest two and lost in the final of the third biggest last year, I feel like I am on the right track and, at 30, I have got the rest of my career to add to it.

"York's a great place. I have spent a lot of time here personally but to come here for the second biggest tournament, a tournament I have won before, is great and I hope to be here for the week."
