Richard Hannon runs Doncaster winner Lil Rockefeller off bottom weight but Richard Hughes rides Cameo Tiara, who pulled too hard on his first try over 1m4f at Sandown but rallied in the closing stages and might be worth another chance. Art Of War and Fire Fighting were both slowly away in the King George V Stakes at Royal Ascot in June and forfeited all chance. The latter looks a bit of a character and Festival Theatre has questions to answer after two modest efforts this year. Cape Caster needs more but Stormardal has claims and Rydan is running well. ARANTES has yet to win on Turf but looked a bit unlucky here in June when finishing ahead of Artful Rogue and a visor might wake him up a little. He's not badly treated and can go well at decent odds.
