Which Downer Am I! - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

OK, OK - you want a hint.

"Recent incumbent" is the straight clue - the answer should not be difficult to find...

The rest is cryptic, but fairly straightforward as cryptic clues go.

Room at university is dorm, and it has 'one' in it. Like, doneorm, or something. Is that near the track?

You're both on the wrong track.

Spiders are not involved. And "room" and "university" are two separate clues.
