Found is set to take on Postponed after all in the Queen Elizabeth II Coronation Cup at Epsom on Saturday.

The filly was not expected to line up after finishing second to Fascinating Rock in the Tattersalls Gold Cup at the Curragh.

However, trainer Aidan O'Brien reports last autumn's Breeders' Cup Turf winner to have taken her recent exertions so well that she now looks like taking her chance.

"Found came out of the Curragh well, and we are looking at the Coronation Cup," said O'Brien.

Found is not the only filly prepared to take on Postponed in the mile-and-a-half Group One as Ralph Beckett's St Leger heroine Simple Verse and Juddmonte International scorer Arabian Queen from David Elsworth's stable were among 10 left in at the confirmation stage.

Postponed has been trading at odds-on in the ante-post market after winning his last four races.

Successful in the King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes when in the hands of Luca Cumani, the Dubawi entire has won both his starts since joining Roger Varian.

Varian has also left in Ajman Bridge and Roseburg, while Cumani looks to German Group One winner Second Step.

Others in the mix are Master Carpenter, Star Storm and The Corsican.
