I'm doing the Times jumbo cryptic 932. I have managed well in the top half but need some clues in the bottom half.
Here are some of the ones i have had difficulty with:
Animal streaked, having bitten finally through curb ; O?I?D?E
Bound to put an end to game ; H?P?C?T??
Any help would be much appreciated!

brindle,hopscotch

2nd 1 is Hopscotch.

thanks for those - could you please explain them so I can see
also, the O in the first clue is from this clue:
Face defeat, and appear browned off?(2,5)
I had ??T?A?T
thanks

Also, I am finding these difficult -

Pen marking route on a trip on barge? ;
??G?L?G???R

Knows about negative answer that's upset Africans ; K?N?A??

Any further help would be greatly appreciated with explanations

Be Toast?
last letter of 'bitten' inside 'Bridle'(curb)

Bound = hop

game = hopscotch

highlighter ,kenyans

Pen marking route on a trip on barge? ;
highlighter - on a trip = high,barge = lghter

Knows about negative answer that's upset Africans ; kenyans - Knows = kens,negative answer = nay,nay upset = yan.

Thanks for that help - a few more have baffled me - I'm only a starter for the Times!
