Dina Asher-Smith among 2019 favourites in BBC Sports Personality of the Year betting


Dina Asher-Smith is among four 10/1 co-favourites for the 2019 BBC Sports Personality of the Year award.

The sprinter will be out to build on her success in Europe when she lines up at the World Athletics Championships in Doha next September.

She heads the betting alongside Anthony Joshua, Owen Farrell and 2018 winner Geraint Thomas, who will bid for back-to-back victories in the Tour de France.

Joshua's schedule is unclear but could include a British heavyweight showdown with Tyson Fury, who is alongside Joe Root and Rory Best at 12/1.

Root will surely feature for England in the cricket World Cup, while Best is part of a strong Ireland side expected to challenge for top honours in rugby union's equivalent and, crucially, is from Northern Ireland.

Best's Ireland team-mate Jacob Stockdale is on offer at 14/1 along with Andy Murray, Justin Rose and Rory McIlroy, though with golf struggling to make an impact when it comes to the main award it would seem that the latter duo are up against it.

Eoin Morgan is a 16/1 chance and might look value given that he's England's ODI captain yet can be backed at a bigger price than Root, however it's unclear as to whether the Dublin-born 32-year-old would be eligible for SPOTY or whether he'd be honoured in the World Sport Star category.

Alongside him are heptathlete Karina Johnson-Thompson, 2018 runner-up Lewis Hamilton and Steph Houghton, captain of the England women's football team.
