Some interesting newcomers but FITZELLA sets a strong standard having kept on well for a close second over 5f at Ascot, and she promises to be suited by 6f. The 500,000euros yearling Tahalel heads the dangers for Richard Hannon, who is enjoying a productive season with his 2yos, although Bella Lyra, Killavia and Warriors Choice also appeal on paper.[Ben Hutton]

55,000gns yearling; second foal; unraced dam has a useful sprint pedigree (sister to 6f Listed winner Kassia) but this Kodiac debutante may be one for further down the line.
43,000euros yearling, £80,000 2yo breeze-ups; second foal; dam unraced, out of well-bred German 1m3f Listed winner; trainer has had a 2yo win first time up this month (at 4-1) and this Oasis Dream newcomer could go well, especially if attracting market support.
Belied 33-1 odds when going close on debut at Ascot (5f, good to firm) a fortnight ago; it wasn't out of the blue as she cost £170,000 and has a useful pedigree, and the way she kept on suggests the step up to 6f could be a plus; the only one with experience and there's lots to like.
Fourth foal; Havana Grey half-sister to 6f/6.5f winner Cold Case (including 2yo/Group 3); dam 7f 2yo/1m winner (RPR 71), half-sister to 5f 2yo Group 3 winner Ponty Acclaim; trainer has already unearthed a useful 2yo filly this year; no surprise if she runs well on debut.
150,000euros foal, 500,000euros yearling; third foal; dam unraced half-sister to winners Thunderous (1m2f Group 2) and Unforgotten (useful 7f/1m), out of Italian 1m2f Listed winner; Fitzella sets a useful standard but this Blue Point newcomer has to be respected for a yard whose 2yos are going well.
Seventh foal; Cracksman half-sister to four winners notably connections' 7f 2yo Listed winner Iconic Choice; trainer had a 2yo newcomer win as favourite at Hamilton last Friday; could give a good account on debut.
