Fifth Commandment sets the standard in this conditions race but preference is for ADMIRABLE SPIRIT. Richard Hannon's charge won on debut before not being held far in group company. The form from that last race looks to have plenty of strength to it and another improved run is expected. Belle Royale is clearly on form but will need to improve now introduced against this lot while Turn The Tide has talent and should do well receiving weight from the selection, Admirable Spirit.
