Hi all,

Am fairly stuck on bottom left corner. Any ideas re-
20d(4,3) 'Fellow getting wind up, being some minutes behind'. I think it's ---- t--
29a (8) 'Sport involving equestrian activity and good study of terrain.' I've got --t-l---
19a (6) 'Sons succeeded in case of death, ignoring any female claims.' I've got -e-i-- and I'm thinking 'sexism/sexist'
23a (10) 'Pole fancies deposing Queen after death'
I've got --s-h----- and am thinking 'posthumous' but don't know if it fits the clue.

Thanks

Does 20d refer to some sort of clock? (which would be wound up)

Thanks for that. I now only need 29a (8) 'Sport involving equestrian activity and good study of terrain'. I've got --t-l-g-

and 22d(6) 'Boost university lecturer provided in part'. I've got -p-i--

PS - I put 'time lag' for 20d

So 20d did refer to blowing-type wind after all! Good clue.

22d UPLIFT?
U(niversity) Lecturer IF (provided) in ParT?
Not such a good clue.

The other should, I feel, be an "ology", but I can't find any suitable ones.

Hi,

Think I've got it. Topology for 29a. (polo and g(ood) inside toy!

I had the t wrong. I had 'skirt' instead of 'skimp' for 24d (5) 'Avoid including a bit of material'.

Thanks for all your help.
