Godolphin and Charlie Appleby have dominated Kempton's Unibet Supports Safer Gambling Maiden Stakes in recent years, annexing recent renewals with elite-level winners Opera Ballo (Ghaiyyath), Notable Speech (Dubawi) and Measured Time (Frankel).

The axis unleashed another potential heavyweight on Wednesday evening as 750,000gns Tattersalls Book 1 yearling Palladas (Lope De Vega) delivered a power-packed debut display to attain 'TDN Rising Star, presented by Hagyard' status in the one-mile contest.

Palladas settled into a smooth rhythm and lobbed along in sixth after an alert getaway. Cruising forward once into the home straight, the 6-5 favourite powered to the front passing the furlong marker and thundered clear in the latter stages to easily outclass Al Azd (Dubawi) by an impressive 2 3/4 lengths.

Palladas is the fourth of five foals and third scorer from as many runners produced by Listed River Eden Stakes third Isabella (Galileo), herself a daughter of Listed Blenheim Stakes victrix Song Of My Heart (Footstepsinthesand). Song Of My Heart is also the dam of G3 Musidora Stakes third Pandora (Galileo) and the dual stakes-placed Allegio (Galileo). The March-foaled chestnut is a half-brother to GIII La Jolla Handicap victor and GII Del Mar Derby runner-up Maltese Falcon (Caravaggio) and the unraced two-year-old colt Helvellyn (Pinatubo).
