COMMON PRACTICE hasn't been seen on the Flat for a couple of years but, arriving from a dominant chasing debut success, Joseph O'Brien's 5-y-o is fancied to go in at the expense of Highland Bling, who doesn't have many miles on the clock and went very close at the Galway Festival recently. Satin, who makes her return after 10 months off the track, rounds off the shortlist.
