COMMON PRACTICE was a Grade 3 winner over fences in March and is on a potentially handy mark now returned to the Flat. He shades preference ahead of Robbies Rock and Ozark Daze. Cases can be made for several of the others, too, including Pralognan, who was well adrift of Not Just Any Eagle at Leopardstown recently but he will be a threat if the addition of cheekpieces have the desired effect.
