1.55SKY BET LOWTHER STAKES

-

It will only be a matter of time before Aidan O’Brien’s string are firing on all cylinders once more and it would be unwise to dismiss the chances of Fairyland just because her yard has been quiet of late.

Her honourable third in the Albany Stakes at Royal Ascot reads well as ANGEL’S

HIDEAWAY was a place behind that day and she was in front on her side of the track.

However, the last named has improved since that run in June and, although she had no answer to Pretty Pollyanna in a controvers­ial running of the Duchess Of Cambridge Stakes — her rider sustained a ban — a confidence booster in Group three company at Ascot should have prepared her nicely for a return to the top table.

Her jockey utilised her potent turn of foot last time following a patient ride and she could be difficult to resist if similar tactics are employed today.
