FormscanBy John O'Riordan - The Aidan O'Brien-trained QUEENSTOWN can make a winning seasonal reappearance. Last seen when finishing mid-division in the Newmarket Cesarewitch, the five-year-old is versatile when it comes to trip. Runner-up to Kyprios a couple of times last year, the son of Galileo has run well off the back of a break in previous campaigns. Given his proven stamina, jockey Ronan Whelan is likely to make this race a thorough test. The veteran Layfayette has every chance, despite arguably preferring an easier surface. Yet to hit form this term, the fitting of first-time cheekpieces could enhance his claims. Cork runner-up Lemsairbat showed enough promise to suggest that she can also make her presence felt.
