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.
