Spanish History^h1,t¹³

Age: 4| Weight: 9-7| J: S W Kelly| T: S Durack| OR: 70

3/1

Landed Windsor mile maiden last October and has avoided fast ground all this season. Doesn't really settle in his races so first time hood applied having run creditably last two starts.

Form: 21-9053

Mister Musicmaster²³

Age: 9| Weight: 9-3| J: David Probert| T: R J Hodges| OR: 66| C

10/1

11-time winner including 4-18 at this venue. Never won beyond 1m1f though so hopes rest on it becoing a tactical race in which he can kick at the finish, otherwise may run out of puff near finish.

7/2

C&D winner last August off 11lb lower mark but has won twice since elsewhere and was respectable runner-up in amateurs event at Brighton last time. Handles conditions and stays so has to have a decent chance.

7/1

Won maiden over extended mile at Beverley last term for Andrew Balding before joining present yard. Dropped 21lb in ratings since and went close over 7f at Brighton in June. Not a certain stayer but potentially favourably handicapped if he stays.

Forecasts

Delirium (11/8), Spanish History (3/1), Windsorlot (7/2), War Of Succession (7/1), Mister Musicmaster (10/1)

DELIRIUM is narrowly preferred to Windsorlot in a trappy little affair. She went close to scoring over C&D last time and with a little luck-in-running might get her head in front on this occasion. Windsorlot is a previous C&D winner and while higher in the weights he has been running well of late. If he copes with the ground top weight Spanish History won't be far away, while you can't rule out the other pair either, Mister Musicmaster and War of Succession.
