Hi guys
Am stuck on question 48 which reads:
Which is the next in this sequence? Yorkshire village, percussion instrument, British chieftain . . .


Tubular pasta
Scottish castle
French fighter
Heraldic judge

Anyone have any idea? My brain just doesn't work like this so I have been sitting here a long time trying to fathom it out!
Much appreciate any help!

Since its the Racing Post, is it the meanings of a sequence of horses which won a particular race?

yes it could well be - trying to work out things like drum/cymbals, tank?, penne, etc - stuck as anything though!!!

They are the Epsom Derby winners of the 1860s:

Thormanby, Kettledrum, Caractacus, Macaroni, Blair Athol, Gladiateur, Lord Lyon, Hermit, Blue Gown, Pretender

thank you - i'd finally sussed it last night but many thanks anyway.
