Postponed cost 360,000gns as a yearling and will have come on for his debut at Newmarket but his pedigree suggests he'll do better in his second season. The Godolphin colt Miners Lamp is much more likely to be suited by this trip as is Mukaynis, by Tamayuz out of a Green Desert mare. Epic Voyage looks certain to be a nice type in time while BYRON GALA looks best of the Marco Botti pair and, with a pedigree suggesting this trip will be ideal, he gets the nod to make a winning start.
