Admiralty brass

Sheepdog trials

Brilliant dizzy, thank you. I can't find Admiralty brass in Chambers but it must be right. Have you finished this xword?

A couple more:
11a Coins around soldiers of Troy for invention (8) ?R???N?E I think it's PRETENCE but how does RET equate to soldiers of Troy please?
and
20d Timely prod (6), no letters placed.

Thanks, m

I don't do this crossword - I guessed brass from cheek.

prompt?

soldiers = re(royal engineers)
T for Troy? - not seen this used before.
that is my best guess

Right again with prompt, and thanks for the link.
2d) Follows the birds holding in behind (8)
?M?L???S. 6th letter T if PRETENCE is correct.

sorry got it Emulates
