PORTA FORTUNA will inevitably have bigger fish to fry as the season progresses and, with that in mind, it wouldn't be the biggest of surprises if she was to be a bit short of her very best on this seasonal reappearance. That said, even if she isn't fully tuned-up the daughter of Caravaggio will probably still prove more than good enough to land this Group 2 prize. There isn't much to chose between the others, with French import Birthe getting the nod for forecast pruposes ahead of Vera's Secret.

    Verdict
    Smart 2-y-o and continued the good work last term, runner-up in 1000 Guineas at Newmarket on return prior to winning a trio of Group 1s. Wasn't seen to best effect in the Breeders' Cup Mile on final start of 2024 and will likely prove hard to beat under a penalty in these calmer waters.

    Verdict
    Good sixth in the Irish 1000 Guineas here on just the second start of her career last May. Ended 3-y-o campaign on a high, landing a 16-runner listed race at Naas (1m, good to soft) and while more will be needed now back up in class, she's certainly not without each-way hope.

    Verdict
    Useful performer in France, winner of a listed race at Toulouse and Prix Saint-Alary at Longchamp last spring. Finished last of 12 in the Prix Vermeille on final start of 2024 (also final run for Mme L. Vanska), but the 1½m trip probably stretched her and better can be expected here.

    Verdict
    Dual 7f winner at Leopardstown last summer and wasn't disgraced when eighth to Porta Fortuna upped to a mile there in September. Resumed with a creditable second in listed company at Gowran (9.4f, good) and she makes some each-way appeal.

    Verdict
    Useful mare who was placed in back-to-back listed events on final 2 starts for Richard Spencer last season. Put in a good shift when third to One Look on return/debut for new yard Park Express Stakes over C&D and she's another with an each-way chance.

    Verdict
    Progressive in 2024 and took another step forward when accounting for 8 rivals in the C&D Park Express Stakes on her reappearance last month. This is tougher but she looks pretty solid and should make her presence felt.

    Verdict
    Continued her race-by-race progression last year when winning 13-runner maiden at Cork (1m, good to firm) in September, scoring in emphatic fashion. Reappearance third in a Kempton listed race was no backward step and she remains with potential.

    Verdict
    Useful mare who bagged handicaps over this C&D and at Leopardstown last season. Raised her game when landing the Group 3 Cornelscourt Stakes at the latter course (7.2f, good) on return a fortnight ago and she's another who has solid each-way claims.
