The only time that these 2 played was in 2016 when Bosnia ran out 2-0 winners in a friendly international. With Bosnia having drawn their last 5 matches and Switzerland having drawn 3 of their last 4 matches this could turn out to be another draw.

With only one of their last five matches each ending 0-0, and six ending 1-1, the way to go here could be another draw with both teams to score. Yes is the pick despite their previous match going 2-0 to Bosnia in 2016.

Switzerland were unlucky to concede a last gasp own goal against Qatar and Bosnia held on for a long time against Canada only to concede after 78 minutes. These 2 could provide a good match and a draw with Yes could be the way to go on recent form.

All the recent form points to this being a close match, with both teams scoring. Bosnia have drawn their last five matches, with four ending 1-1. Switzerland have drawn three of their last four, with the last two 1-1. Another 1-1 draw looks the best bet.

This ones only won came over 7f at the Curragh in Sep 2022but Apart from that his best form has come over 7f here. His previous tries over 8f have been moderate efforts but he has been staying on from the rear. He tries this 9f trip for the first time having run well over 7f last time. If he stays and doesn't get too far behind he could be worth a try to place at his best course.

This one won on debut over 8f and after a lesser run in a grade 3 ran 3rd last twice at Goodwood. Wechaad is only 10/1 but finished 1.5L behind last time and off only 1lb better might not stop him confirming form. They are drawn side by side in 26 and 27 so at 28/1 I think that this one is a better E/W bet.

Rahiebb has never been further than 14f but is said likely to find this trip within compass so he is the NAP to win.

Despite the talent in the England squad they don't always gel and can be a bit erratic at times. As much as I would like to see England win I think that they will be aware of losing and will not fully commit. The draw and Yes is the pick the way the early matches seem to be going.

I have followed this horse ever since her debut in July 2024. She has often run well and has won over 6f and 7f off a high of 82. She was 4th in the Sandringham over 8f last year and could be worth a bet at 10/1 off 6lb higher than her last win. The big negative is she likes,to be ridden close to the pace so the Spencer style of riding could be the problem.

France are one of the favourites but they have a habit of creating chances but failing to convert them. Spain have the same problem and they drew 0-0 in their first match which is why I have gone for the draw here. The last time France lost their opening match was to Senegal in 2002 when they lost 1-0. If history repeats France could lose but the draw looks a good bet the way that current results are going.
