Excelebration among high-class field for Goodwood's Celebration Mile

EXCELEBRATION is one of the few horses to have got Frankel out of his comfort zone this season - albeit very fleetingly, in the Greenham in April '“ and he heads a high-class entry of 35 horses for the Betfair Celebration Mile at Goodwood on August 27.

He further cemented his growing reputation with a six-length win in the Group 2 Hungerford Stakes at Newbury on Saturday.

Poet’s Voice bids to follow up his 4½-length win in this race last year and he heads seven entries for Godolphin, who also have the likes of Delegator and Rio De La Plata in the race.
