Andy Oliver trained a 50/1 chance to win this a year ago so watch out for Palmones, the first foal of a 1m4f winner. Santa Monica ran in a Group 3 last month and was fancied for a moderate maiden at Tipperary on Friday but was very disappointing. Camellia Japonica made a very good impression when staying on over 6f here last month and will be suited by the extra. Adelena made her debut in a strong maiden over 6f here in June and will improve though there are a couple of newcomers who really catch the eye. Creme De La is related to some useful winners and is a sister to a winning miler in the USA but it's HOW HIGH THE MOON whose pedigree suggests she could be up to this. She's a full sister to this season's Group 1 Pretty Polly winner Diamondsandrubies and related to several other winners - she holds entries in all the major fillies' events.
