This one was 3rd of 4 on debut over 7f but was beaten less than 1L in class 3. He was dropped to class 4 over 7f next time and drew right away to win by 7.5L. This demands more up to Listed class but the manner of that win suggest that there is more to come.

England are another side with talented players but they like at lot of the better sides have always had trouble converting their many chances. Croatia can prove troublesome to the England defence and for that reason I have gone for the draw.

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.

If England can convert some of their chances that they create they could win this match by a wide margin. If Croatias defence hold firm this could go to a low scoring match and 1-1 the pick.

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.

The prudent thing to do here is to bet No but as Senegal won their only previous match 1-0 in their opening match of 2002 I have taken them to score again. France create plenty of chances but as classy as they are fail to convert them. I think that Yes is the size pick.
