The level of COMMON PRACTICE's Flat form means he could easily leave the form of his opening hurdle run behind so he gets the nod, although a strong market move for Gordon Elliott's French Flat recruit Bestaline would put a slightly different slant on things. Bridgehead was a promising second on his hurdle debut and looks best of the rest.
