FormscanBy Gary Carson - EVERLASTING takes a drop in class here having made little impression in the Irish 1,000 Guineas last time. The Kingman filly had run well on her two previous outings in stakes company, including when third to Oaks winner Ezeliya in the Salsabil Stakes here in late April. Bluedrum may be capable of better on nicer ground now. She won her maiden in good style last year but couldn't make much impression in the Athasi Stakes on her return at the Curragh last month. It's interesting that Ben Coen sides with Girl Racer from the Johnny Murtagh-trained pair. She was very free in Group 2 company at the Curragh last time and wasn't disgraced by finishing seventh in the end.
