THERE was a familiarity about having the name O’Brien listed as the winning trainer of the Group 1 Cheveley Park Stakes winner, though on this occasion it was Donnacha who gave the leg up to Oisin Murphy aboard Porta Fortuna. Both had been associated with other previous winners of the race, as they partnered Fairyland (Donnacha in 2018) and Alcohol Free (Oisin in 2020) to victory.

Porta Fortuna won the Group 3 Naas Juvenile Sprint Stakes before going on to credit Caravaggio (Scat Daddy) with his first Royal Ascot group winner, when she remained unbeaten in the Group 3 Albany Stakes. Though beaten twice since, she had run second in the Group 1 Keeneland Phoenix Stakes and third in the Group 1 Moyglare Stud Stakes. Now she has won a Group 1.
