Porta Fortuna followed up her Coronation Stakes win with an easy success in the Group 1 Falmouth Stakes on the July course at Newmarket. 

The three-year-old was always prominent under Ryan Moore and stamped her class on her six rivals with a slick performance, beating the strong-travelling Jabaara as the 10-11 favourite. It was another notable success for the daughter of Caravaggio, who already had the Albany and Cheveley Park on her resume.

Running Lion, who won the Duchess of Cambridge Stakes at Royal Ascot, made most of the running as Rogue Millennium raced isolated from the rest of the field, but folded tamely once asked to quicken by Oisin Murphy.

Porta Fortuna could bid to make it three consecutive top-level successes in the Matron Stakes at Leopardstown on September 14.
