Ok so clearly patterns are that the money is going on Earps. After her blunder the other week which effectively ended ago hopes of an Olympic place I’m rather surprised so many expect her to win frankly. That said the opposition isn’t up to much and Johnson Thompson would get my vote. Not that I’m remotely interested in voting.

I feel like I should support Earps as I'm going to see her play on Sunday but I would agree about KJT. World champion again, you can't ask for more
 
I mean you could argue England wouldn't have even gotten past the quarter finals in the WWC if it wasn't for Earps, but yeah that's a pretty weak shortlist.

No he never made the 2016 Olympics in Rio he had decided to represent the Republic but withdrew due to concerns over the Zika Virus.

Fair enough. All year round though, he represents NI rather than Ireland (I’d imagine he has the right to represent either) and given he’s from Belfast he is definitely fully eligible.

I think he's represented both though hasn’t he. And I’m pretty sure anyone born in NI is eligible.

That said, the Dettori one is a mystery really.

The recipient must either be British or reside and play a significant amount of their sport in the United Kingdom.

Dettori races mostly in the UK. Although he does a lot more international racing than he used to do he still races over 120 times in the UK this year.

Well Haaland plays almost all of his sport in the UK, and I’d be amazed if he doesn’t have a British passport.
