FormscanBy John O'Riordan - Having contested the 1000 Guineas and Epsom Oaks on her last two starts, YLANG YLANG should appreciate this ease in grade. A Group 1 winner at Newmarket on her final start as a juvenile, the Aidan O'Brien-trained filly had been a leading fancy for both Classics over the winter. Although failing to get competitive in either race, the daughter of Frankel can make the most of this nice opportunity. A three-time winner at this track, the Ger Lyons-trained Mutasarref has to be respected. The six-year-old looks to face a stiff assignment giving weight away to some decent performers but his affinity for this venue shouldn't be underestimated. Lord Massusus has been in better form than ever this season at the age of four, so Joseph Murphy's gelding also enters calculations.
For three years old and upwards
Weights - 3-y-o 9st 2lbs 4-y-o and up 9st 9lbs Fillies allowed 3lbs
Penalties - (to count from 1st January, 2024) Winner of a Group 3 race 3lb extra Of a Group 2 or a Group 1 race 5lb extra
