Newmarket Friday entries: Porta Fortuna could face nine rivals

Donnacha O’Brien’s charge finished second in the QIPCO 1000 Guineas at Newmarket on her reappearance before registering a battling success in the Coronation Stakes at Royal Ascot.

A Lilac Rolla, second in the Irish 1000 Guineas, is set to represent Paddy Twomey while Joseph O’Brien’s Gregarina and Rogue Millenium, plus the Adrian Murray-trained Magical Sunset, complete a strong Irish entry.

The home defence is led by Duke Of Cambridge first and third Running Lion and Doom, John O’Gaunt runner-up Sirona is on course to run for the David Menuisier team while recent Listed winner Jabara completes the field.

Queen Marry third Maw Lam and Albany third and fourth Heaven’s Gate and Mountain Breeze are among a field of 16 for the Duchess of Cambridge Stakes.

Potential rivals include Empress Stakes winner Celandine and Babouche who looked an exciting prospect for Ger Lyons and Juddmonte when winning on debut at Cork.
