Latest summer result: 4th (2024) • Best summer result: Winner (2022)
Availability and longevity set John up for success as Taylor and Ronan, the other members of the big-three, are either on holiday or succumbed to injury, installing The Cat as favourite. Even the algorithm is in his favour, decreeing 100m the event to be dropped this year rather than the even less popular cycling. But you can't argue with the computer on these matters, and John's dominance of the retained cycling is pure coincidence. He would be an unpopular winner and the ABJ sentiment will be strong.
