YLANG YLANG was very impressive on her debut over the track and trip and again when making all in a Leopardstown Group 3 where she comfortably saw off the challenge of Vespertilio, who won a Group 2 here next time. The Ballydoyle filly should remain unbeaten as Albany Stakes winner Porta Fortuna was a well beaten second when elevated into Group 1 company in the Phoenix Stakes. Fallen Angel is progressing nicely and was the comfortable winner of a Newmarket Group 3 last month while Ornellaia's yard has some nice juveniles this season and she wasn't suited by heavy ground in a Deauville Group 2 last time.
