Ylang Ylang was already beaten when hampered and eased in the Group 1 Moyglare Stud Stakes at the Curragh earlier this month. She eventually finished more than 13 lengths behind winner Fallen Angel, who had been put firmly in her place by SHUWARI (NAP) earlier at Sandown. Ollie Sangster’s filly can extend her unbeaten record in this as she holds Carolina Reaper on collateral form. Carla's Way chased home the subsequent May Hill winner Darnation in a Group 3 at Goodwood last month so may prove the pick of the remainder, though Spiritual created a favourable impression when making a winning debut at Leicester.
