Verdict
TISLAAM just edges it at the weights and the C&D winner has Ryan Moore on board today. He's just preferred to the likes of Bint Alzain and Chevise, who both take a drop in class after struggling in handicaps off their current marks. Mercers Row has won three times on Turf but is unexposed on the all-weather and could make a bold bid but Mother Jones looks up against it on today's terms. Adranian is proving inconsistent but Choice Words is lightly-raced and may have more to offer in this company.
