Nice puzzle.
Is 9A one of the clues that needs 'consideration'?
I can see a possibility, but if it is I find it hard to parse the answer (which I have got).

Hi nelson, there isn't a 9a. To save giving an unnecessary parse please confirm which clue.

Hi again nelson, I imagined it was 9d. It's a subtraction anagram of "lifeboats" - "of".

Sorry, and obviously a "straight" clue.

Sorry nelson, mind elsewhere, Royal Ascot. I meant to say "obviously now" with the part word you had considered in full being the subtraction indicator.

Apologies ginge. Machine crashed.
So, I still have one more 'consideration' clue to find.

I have a full grid with the relevant callers highlighted but i seem to have completely bypassed "in 6 clues, 1a needs consideration" - what have I missed?

Hi kirky, the wordplay in 6 clues requires "1a" to work.
