NEWMARKET trainer Roger Varian is having an excellent campaign and his record improved still further when 8/11 favourite Postponed ran out a very comfortable winner of the Group 1 Queen Elizabeth II Coronation Cup.

The Dubawi five-year-old made ground easily in the straight, picked off his pacemaker, Roseburg, before the furlong marker and strode clear for Andrea Atzeni to beat Aidan O’Brien’s filly Found by four and a half lengths. Surprisingly, Roseburg (50/1) kept on well enough to hold St Leger winner Simple Verse for third.
