A Grade 3 winner over fences at Thurles on his penultimate start, COMMON PRACTICE is undeniably well treated on his return to the Flat. Lightly raced in this sphere in recent years, the Joseph O'Brien-trained gelding can race off 1lb lower than when narrowly denied at the Galway Festival in 2022. Prior to that effort, the son of Gleneagles had won the Apprentice Derby at this track. Given his rate of improvement over jumps subsequently, it is hard to believe that a mark of 81 is beyond him. Killarney runner-up Robbies Rock has to be a serious contender in first-time cheekpieces, while both Molly Hall and Granite Bay deserve consideration. |
An excrutiantingly difficult handicap to solve with jumpers switching back to the Flat, Cesarewitch winners, charity race and maiden form all in the mix. A tentative selection is NATURALLY NIMBLE who has been running well over hurdles and was progressive on the Flat before that in 2024. Dangers abound, but Robbies Rock appeals having been well backed when running well last time and sporting cheekpieces for the first time here. Granite Bay is also progressive and should be thereabouts. |

A Grade 3 winner over fences at Thurles on his penultimate start, COMMON PRACTICE is undeniably well treated on his return to the Flat. Lightly raced in this sphere in recent years, the Joseph O'Brien-trained gelding can race off 1lb lower than when narrowly denied at the Galway Festival in 2022. Prior to that effort, the son of Gleneagles had won the Apprentice Derby at this track. Given his rate of improvement over jumps subsequently, it is hard to believe that a mark of 81 is beyond him. Killarney runner-up Robbies Rock has to be a serious contender in first-time cheekpieces, while both Molly Hall and Granite Bay deserve consideration. |
An excrutiantingly difficult handicap to solve with jumpers switching back to the Flat, Cesarewitch winners, charity race and maiden form all in the mix. A tentative selection is NATURALLY NIMBLE who has been running well over hurdles and was progressive on the Flat before that in 2024. Dangers abound, but Robbies Rock appeals having been well backed when running well last time and sporting cheekpieces for the first time here. Granite Bay is also progressive and should be thereabouts. |
