Formscan By Mark Nunan - Soft ground at York, where he was declared to run in Friday’s Lonsdale Stakes, is probably the reason that CARMERS (1) will take up this engagement instead and it’s certainly a more winnable contest for Paddy Twomey’s smart stayer. Last year’s Queen’s Vase winner didn’t see out the trip when sixth in the Gold Cup and anything from 1m6f to two miles looks right for him. Queenstown is a very capable stayer and was placed in a pair of Group 1 contests in France at the back-end of last season, but he will surely come on for this first run in 300 days. Leinster beat Dallas Star in last year's renewal, but has more on his plate this time. %0A%0A%0A
