CARMERS couldn't live with the very best stayers in the Gold Cup at Royal Ascot but he's the one to beat back in calmer waters. Kizlyar, who runs here instead of the Ebor at York, had the form of his Ascot Stakes success boosted by stablemate Defiantly's comfortable win at Glorious Goodwood and he may provide a bigger threat than the returning Queenstown.
