      Verdict

      Contentment hasn't looked anything special though she wouldn't need to be to win this and her yard is still firing them in. MUSIC LESSON has been finding a mile too far and fading so this trip and ground can enable her to gain her first victory. Sussex Girl has been well beaten on both starts but Forever Excel can be expected to improve this season after running very green on her introduction at Newmarket in September. Roger Varian's newcomer Deleyla is by Acclamation out of an unraced mare from a smart family and she's wouldn't need to be anything special to make a winning start.
