Can Summerghand bounce back into winning form?

GOODWOOD will be the centrepiece of racing this afternoon and a wide open Celebration Mile, a  group two event at 3.35, is the feature event.

Godolphin’s Benbatl will almost certainly start favourite, and on the best of his form he should be at the top of the market. However, he is now a seven-year-old and this will be his first start for a mighty 337 days.

That is not to say he can’t win, but at around the 2/1 mark there are definitely better each-way plays in the confirmed field of 10 runners despite him being 6lbs clear on official ratings to his nearest rival.
