COMMON PRACTICE scored at the Curragh in the summer, where he had today's hurdling newcomer Impero behind. Though disappointing in two starts over timber, he still has some scope and this looks a poor opener. Mr Globalist hasn't made the expected progress since a close second on his hurdling debut at Tipperary while Calico has looked moderate in her three starts. Poets Cottage and Circus Act haven't shown much though the latter did a bit better at Punchestown last time.
