EAVESDROP is a half-sister to Kingsgate Native so would be expected to have plenty of pace but she's by Galileo and looked more like a middle-distance performer in her opening campaign. She's expected to leave that form behind and can land this. Gabardine ran well on ground with some give in her first two starts but appeared to find fast going against her when favourite at Fairyhouse last week. Karalara made her debut over 6f last summer and showed good speed but she's out of a 1m4f Listed winner so she be more at home here. Star Of Kings attempted to make all on her return to action over a mile at the Curragh but couldn't quite keep up the gallop. She could be ridden with more restraint here and her overall form puts her right in the picture.
