Roger Varian voices confidence about Postponed prospects

Roger Varian is confident Postponed is back firing on all cylinders ahead of his return to action in the Juddmonte International at York today.

Winner of the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot last summer, when trained by Luca Cumani, the five-year-old was subsequently moved across Newmarket with the rest of owner Sheikh Obaid’s string to Roger Varian’s stable.

Back-to-back victories at the Dubai Carnival saw him make a flying start for his new handler and he looked well positioned to dominate the mile-and-a-half division this summer after a spectacular return to Britain in the Coronation Cup at Epsom in early June.
