    Verdict

    Commandment is given one more chance to get his head in front, with Saaratt and Artistic Liason the likely dangers. Ed Dunlop's charge has cost supporters dearly this season, losing twice when an odds on favourite. Both defeats were against unexposed types and so the form may be better than first thought and he can open his account in what looks a modest affair. Saaratt has shown decent enough form to earn an official rating of 72 and could be the one to make a race of it. Meanwhile Artistic Liason has been given time to mature and we may see a much improved performer this season. Elmasong completes the line up and has little or no chance, so this does look to be a simple enough task for Commandment and he gets the nod.
