        Verdict

        Princess Ileana is the obvious form choice here and she is expected to comfortably beat Temtation and Galaxy Of Stars. Karl Burke's filly has contested some decent contests this season, including a class two event at Windsor. She hasn't been beaten far on any occasion and should be up to winning this modest looking event. Temtation has shown plenty of promise in three races to date and has to be a big threat in receipt of three pounds from the selection. Meanwhile Galaxy Of Stars has a bit of a squeak on a form line involving Hucking Hope. Jenny Goddess didn't show too much on her debut but is entitled to improve and could be the best of the rest, however Princess Ileana has the proven turf form and she is a confident choice.
