Two query free days in a row I had but my luck ran out today...

"Keen on scanning sky, left not right, peering ahead" = crystal gazing.

"Dominant old city district" = Soho.

"Old Queen of Castile forgot to study a little poetry" = stanza.

Many thanks.

Different meaning of Keen is to mourn or wail - cry -(normally at a funeral).
cry + star gazing swapping R(ight) to L(eft)

The Dominant is the 5th note in a musical scale,normally spelt Sol but Soh is acceptable.
plus O old

I have the same three answers I think Stanza might derive from CON(to stdy)STANZA ,Queen of Castile ?
I'm stuck on 3 in the same puzzle
CLUE:Would be assassin put ropes round woman in trick.(3 and 6) G.Y .A.K..
CLUE: US Lawyer took offan ran: (6) D...E.
CLUE: In contest it eliminates passion (4) .E.T
Help appreciated

"In contest it eliminates" - "passion" = heat.

must be Guy Fawlkes?

And finally, DA (District Attorney) + shed = dashed

sorry W(oman) in trick - fake = Fawke surrounded by guys (ropes)
guy fawkes

Many thanks to all
I dont think I would have come up with Guy Fawkes
I was completely on the wrong track.
prompt responses much appreciated.
