Mikey Ennis has ridden COMMISSIONED the last twice, including when he had Court Minstrel, Trucking Along and Lucky Bridle well behind when scoring at Cartmel in June. Far from disgraced when carrying a big weight in a Listed handicap at Market Rasen subsequently, he isn't necessarily his stable's second string behind the in-form Ittirad even though Aidan Coleman rides the latter. King of The Picts has been in good form on the Flat lately so looks the danger to the Ferguson pair.
