POSTPONED is at the height of his powers and a deserved ante-post favourite. Unbeaten since landing last year’s King George at Ascot, he beat Found in the Coronation Cup at Epsom in June and Highland Reel and The Grey Gatsby when winning the Juddmonte International at York last time. Ascot Gold Cup winner Order Of St George drops back further in trip after failing to land the odds in the Irish St Leger while the Arc trial winners here last month, Silverwave and Left Hand, are others who may just lack an edge in this company. Andre Fabre’s New Bay lost nothing in defeat behind Golden Horn and Flintshire in last year’s renewal, however, and a couple of three-year-old Derby winners could also go well. Harzand is reportedly fully recovered from being struck into in the Irish Champion Stakes and the Epsom and Irish Derby winner will appreciate the return to 1m4f while Japan’s Derby winner Makahiki went some way towards justifying a lofty reputation when beating Midterm in the Prix Neil trial here last month but has been drawn wide as he bids to win this for Japan for the first time.
