Mister Musicmaster has won here four times but never over this far and War Of Succession is another with something to prove over today’s trip. Spanish History and Windsorlot both placed on their respective latest outings but neither threatened the winner so this looks a good opportunity for DELIRIUM. The latter was beaten only a neck over course and distance last time and Ed De Giles charge can come out best with a similar effort today.
