Betting tips & odds analysis
1. Rousham — 4/1 (Betfred), 15:30 Doncaster
Selection: Rousham to win the 15:30 at Doncaster. Reasoning: A progressive sort who has been crying out for this trip after shaping with promise over shorter distances last time. The drop back to a sound surface should suit, and 4/1 looks fair value in a wide-open mile handicap on the Town Moor.
2. Wrydcroft — 11/4 (Betfred), 16:05 Doncaster
Selection: Wrydcroft in the 16:05 at Doncaster. Reasoning: Returns from a small break with conditions ideal and a stable in good Flat form. Has run well first-time-out previously and the 11/4 quote is a respectable price about a top-three player on official ratings.
3. Germany & Over 4.5 Goals — 6/5 (Sky Bet)
Selection: Germany to win and over 4.5 goals vs Curaçao (18:00 BST). Reasoning: Die Mannschaft are quoted as short as 1/20 to win the match, so the only sensible angle is goals. Nagelsmann's side will look to make a statement of intent, while Curaçao's defensive approach is unproven at this level. Backing the favourites to romp home with a hatful is the play.
4. Netherlands -1 Handicap — around 11/10 (William Hill)
Selection: Netherlands to win by two or more goals vs Japan (21:00 BST). Reasoning: The Dutch are odds-on (Evens) outright but Japan, at +290, are talented going forward and tend to be a team you back to draw with the elite, not lose by one. Backing Oranje on the -1 line gives a chunkier payout if their forward line, led by the in-form Cody Gakpo, click in the Texas heat.
5. Emma Raducanu to lift the Queen's Club title — 5/6 (Bet365)
Selection: Emma Raducanu to beat Donna Vekic in the WTA 500 final. Reasoning: Vekic has been hampered by a knee niggle and Raducanu is playing arguably the cleanest grass-court tennis of her career, dropping just four games against Jovic. Backed by a sold-out home crowd, the British No.1 should have the edge in the key moments. Quoted around 5/6 across the major firms.
Player news & injury updates
Saka race against time for England
Bukayo Saka's participation in England's World Cup opener against Croatia on Wednesday remains uncertain. The Arsenal winger, whose role in clinching the Premier League title was curtailed by an Achilles problem, has completed 90 minutes just once since March. He has been training with Thomas Tuchel's squad but is not yet considered fully fit. A late call is expected in Dallas.
Bellingham starts on the front foot
Jude Bellingham is fit and is expected to wear the No.10 shirt for England against Croatia in Arlington, Texas. The Real Madrid midfielder will captain the attacking midfield band that Tuchel has built his system around.
Arsenal step up Koné and Williams pursuit
Champions Arsenal are reportedly prepared to lodge a €40m bid for Roma's Manu Koné once the window opens on Monday, while Mikel Arteta also retains a long-standing interest in Athletic Club winger Nico Williams, valued at around €90m. Bournemouth's Alex Scott is a third midfield target, with Manchester United also keen on the 22-year-old.
Manchester United chase defenders
Manchester United have placed Fulham left-back Antonee Robinson and Newcastle's Lewis Hall on their shortlist as Ruben Amorim looks to bolster his back-line. United are also pressing for Lens midfielder Mamadou Sangaré following Casemiro's free transfer exit. Manuel Ugarte is likely to be moved on this summer.
Vekic's knee under scrutiny ahead of Queen's final
Donna Vekic took a medical timeout in her semi-final against Katie Boulter, raising concern about her knee. The Croatian insists she will be ready for the final but it is a clear watch-point given the high-tempo baseline exchanges Raducanu has been producing all week.
