CONDITIONS are going to be testing at Goodwood today – as conditions were at Goodwood yesterday – and that provides a potential angle into the Group 2 Ladbrokes Celebration Mile from a betting point of view.

Benbatl and Regal Reality have been at the top of the market since betting opened. That makes sense. Benbatl has to concede 3lb to his rivals, but he is a multiple Group 1 winner and he is the highest-rated horse in the race by a fair way. He is 8lb higher than second best Regal Reality, and he only has to give him 3lb.
