Today, June 29, 2025Flat2mGood

COMMON PRACTICE ran well and shaped encouragingly with a view to tackling this linger trip still when running on for third in handicap at this course (14f) 5 weeks ago. He's potentially on a very handy mark judged on what he's achieved over jumps and, with first-time blinkers now enlisted, he could be the answer. Unsurprisingly there's plenty of similarly interesting sorts in opposition, headed up by Mon Coeur, La Vita Nova, Mordor and Too Bossy for Us.

    Useful on the Flat for Kevin Philippart de Foy in 2024 and he made a promising start for this yard when seventh on his hurdling debut in the Triumph at Cheltenham in March. Failed to build on that when fifth in Champion Juvenile at Punchestown but he remains with potential now back in this sphere.
