Kim Bailey and AP McCoy teamed up with a winner at Doncaster on Friday and can be on the mark again with FAERIE REEL. A stayer on the Flat in France, she's run well in both starts over timber so far and is probably a bit better than this grade. Princess Caetani continues to disappoint while Queen Olivia was well beaten at Stratford after finishing second on fast ground here in June. Tara Muck might do better dropped in trip but Miss Sassypants was beaten in lesser company at Towcester last month.
