PORTA FORTUNA (6) hasn't looked back since being denied a neck attempting the G1 1000 Guineas at Newmarket subsequently securing victory in both the G1 Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot and then the Falmouth Stakes. Expertly handled by young trainer Donnacha O'Brien she will have been well prepared for this and can complete a top-level hat-trick en-route to the Breeders Cup. By far the most interesting opportunity is FALLEN ANGEL (4) who delivers first outing for new connections Wathnan Racing after winning the G1 Irish 1000 Guineas at the Curragh in May. YLANG YLANG (10) disappointed in the G3 Desmond Stakes here last month. Holds form to go close if bouncing back to her best. The unbeaten G3 Brownstown Stakes winner JANCIS (5) needs respect up in grade.
