Someone please help me with my last one:

9A. Claim I'm accepting about great boxer's expertise.
P-R-E---O-A-I-M

Something -ism I'm guessing?

A word for assert + I m around on ( about) and ali's (boxer)

Profess (claim) I' (one) on (about) Ali's m

Of course it's professionalism!
I was put off by having the 'r' in the wrong place, but I've now amended the down clue.
Thank you both. Enjoy what's left of the weekend!

Not happy about 3d

One in race changing place - he's in lead (13)
Does LEAD = STEER?

However, isn't 10d a great clue!
Was Coppola smiiten with yen to make this? (10,3)

Yes, steer
Yes :)

Both are synonyms of guide

Mmmm.........OK, both!

I was happy with "steer" = "lead" when I did the crossword this morning?
Yes, Chris! 10d is an excellent clue!

Hi elle
I take zozozo's point about both being synonyms of "guide", but I'm struggling to think of a sentence in which "lead" could be replaced by "steer" (or vice versa) and retain the same meaning.

btw I looked at where I could watch the end of the cycling when I got in today, only to find that it was all over!
