Lady Of The Night and Royal Practitioner are already eight-year-olds and carry a penalty but the former was an easy winner at Fontwell earlier this month. Sheila Nash, who beat Kimmins in a bumper in February, has been a disappointment over hurdles so far but Wincanton third Get The Game should have more to offer and Holly Hartingo was just beaten in a point-to-point in May. Miss Fairfax should be winning soon based on her Leicester second, with Runwiththetide well held on that run, but NEXTDOORTOALICE made all and was always travelling best on her debut for new connections at Doncaster and can go on to better things. Malaita looks the pick of the remainder.
