Porta Fortuna makes stylish return to action
Donnacha O'Brien's filly has a superb CV and is a four-time Group winner who has been out of the top three only once in her career when unplaced in the Breeders' Cup Mile last November. Under Ryan Moore the 5-4 favourite took to the track for the first time this season and showed all of her class was still intact with a resolute Group Two success from Paddy Twomey's One Look. 'It was a lovely starting point for her. She did things right, relaxed nicely and quickened up well,' said O'Brien. 'Ryan said she got a little bit idle in front. That's beautiful and should set her up nicely for Ascot now. 'The Queen Anne seems likely, we have the option of that or the Duke of Cambridge, but I think she won so nicely and she's training good and she's happy and healthy. I think we have to look at the Queen Anne.' When asked if the Breeders Cup would be the late-season target again, he added: 'We'll see what happens. It was a target last year and the year before so it seems like an obvious possibility at the end of the year. 'We'll get through the rest of the year and see how she is and hatch a plan then.' Porta Fortuna was cut to 6-1 from 8-1 for the Queen Anne with both Betfair and Coral.

Scroll down for our man's selections TEMPLEGATE'S TIPS Horse racing tips: 'He loves it fast and runs well fresh' – Templegate's 5-1 NAP in a star-studded Lockinge at Newbury TEMPLEGATE tackles a brilliant Saturday of racing confident of smashing the bookies. Back a horse by clicking their odds below. NOTABLE SPEECH (2.35 Newbury, nap) He proved himself high-class over a mile last season, winning the 2,000 Guineas and Sussex Stakes either side of a blip at Royal Ascot. He finished the season going close in the Breeders' Cup Mile and loves fast ground. He's gone well fresh and can kick off this season with a win. IDES OF MARCH (1.25 Newbury, nb) The Aidan O'Brien hopeful was an easy Group 3 winner at The Curragh last year and will take plenty of stopping. He's fit from a solid comeback run at Navan and the trip suits perfectly. WALEEFY (1.05 Newmarket, treble) He looks primed to strike back over his ideal trip after finding 6f too sharp at Goodwood. He was entitled to be a bit rusty on comeback too and should be a lot sharper for in-form William Haggas.
