    Verdict

    Areyoutalkingtome can beat Art Man, with any support for Phebe to be noted. Areyoutalkingtome has plenty of experience already, and looked as though his turn was near when second to Alqaab at Lingfield on his last outing on the Turf course there in May. The winner was a costly purchase and highly-rated, so although one or two pundits reckon that Charles Cyzer's charge is a frustrating sort, his earlier defeat behind Killybegs at Newmarket shows that he has taken on decent company. With that in mind, unless Art Man improves significantly on his narrow defeat to Nefski Alexander at Folkestone, Areyoutalkingtome should come out on top. The fly in the ointment is Phebe who is a full-sister to the stable's Pukka, and is related to plenty more winners. She is likely to come into her own over further though, and unless the market comes down heavily in her favour, we would rather side with Areyoutalkingtome.
