sorry should have said 7 not 8 for Chateux

[Davemano]

3 Treacle Marmalade is a spread.

[ProfessorMaisie]

tree = trea(cle)? - are homophones ok?

I was wondering why the French word had been used - it's an English racecourse after all.

[JJ109]

Agree with you Prof - why French?
As it is now 8 letters "Goodwood" - sort of tree"ish", would cover cars and horse racing - but does not explain the French.

[Davemano]

Probably to confuse.
I was thinking mainly about Marmalade tree, unless 'tree' has to be in the answer.

[Davemano]

jj is 7 now 8 letters or have I confused things with wrong post at 0043

[ProfessorMaisie]

Thanks, i see what you mean.

jj109 - it was a typo from davemano. He put '8' (the wrong number) for clue 7, I think it's still a 7 letter answer or 'goodwood' would be good.

[Davemano]

Sorry about misleading.
