Verdict
YLANG YLANG, a daughter of Frankel, was bought for 1.5million gns and went a long way to justifying the outlay with a very impressive debut success at the Curragh. There will be some long faces if she is beaten here though Mysteries showed the benefit of a promising opening run at the Curragh with a convincing victory at Cork. Nemonte made a successful start at the Curragh, when Rush Queen was beaten five lengths, and may have found the ground too quick in the Chesham. Lady Craftsman was impressive over a mile at Bellewstown and will enjoy the conditions more than most.
