FormscanBy Donal Murphy - COMMON PRACTICE was an eye-catcher at Listowel last week and he should give a good account of himself in this competitive heat. The Gleneagles colt raced towards rear at the Co Kerry venue, making good late headway to finish a never nearer fourth. He makes his debut in handicap company now and it'll be disappointing if he is not involved towards the business end. Mr Globalist ran a fine race to finish fifth in a maiden at the Curragh last Saturday and that contest is likely to produce plenty of future winners. The chestnut colt is given second preference here, as he also makes his debut in handicap company. Nero Tulip is the sole winner in the line-up, after he dead-heated with Leinster House at Naas on his most recent start. The Ger Lyons trained colt is sure to have plenty of supporters in this seven-furlong contest and it'll come as little surprise if he manages to follow-up. Dickochea was very disappointing at the Curragh on Sunday and he is now tried in a first time visor. Papa K (first time blinkers) is another that warrants respect, while Shinkansen is also capable of making his presence felt.
