The Swiss world marathon champion won both the T54 800 metres and 1,500m at the IPC Grand Prix in Nottwil, Switzerland in May.

Jones came third in both races.

The 18-year-old will be competing in her first European Championships next month, having made her international debut as a 15-year-old at the 2011 World Championships in New Zealand.

"I think there are a lot of strong competitors," she said.

"The Swiss are particularly strong at wheelchair racing and it will be good to race against them.

"I think it will very much come down to what happens on the day.

"A lot of wheelchair racing is down to the tactics, especially over the distances that I do."

She added: "Manuela [Schaer] is definitely the woman to beat.

"She is on form ridiculously this year.

"But there is also Edith Wolff who is really strong as well.

"But then there is also Shelley [Woods] and a number of young athletes coming through."

At last year's World Championships in Lyon, France, Jones finished eighth in the 800m and 5,000m races, and 10th in the 1,500m.

All three were won by the United States' Tatyana McFadden, with Schaer second in the 800m and 5,000m.

Jones is hoping to make the top five in each of the three distances at the Championships in Swansea, which are due to be held from August 18 to 23.
