Aidan O'Brien looks set to rely on Ylang Ylang in the Qipco 1,000 Guineas at Newmarket in a fortnight's time with stablemate Content possibly heading to France instead.

Ylang Ylang, last year's Fillies Mile winner, is currently second favourite for the classic behind Karl Burke's Moyglare winner Fallen Angel.

Content, fourth in the Breeders Cup Juvenile Fillies Turf last November, is currently a 10/1 shot for the Guineas but could be re-routed to Poule d'Essai des Pouliches at Longchamp the following week.

O'Brien said at the Curragh on Saturday:- “Ylang Ylang is probably the one (for Newmarket) and Content might go to France. That's what we're thinking, we'll split them up.”
