Oh, go on then Paul, please put me out of my misery with No. 87

chaperajos - (short version is chaps)

Thank you, you are wonderful!!! I've heard of chaps - didn't know that wasn't the full name.

Just no. 26 to find, now.

Does this competition have any cross clues to assist?

OK rinkleez could it be;

anagram of ROOM (chaber + IS + H (head)

= MOORISH (breed of horse?)

rinkleez - see;

incidentally interesting tie-up with Barb!

I think you're right, Paul. It's an interesting article and I will go back and read it properly. I enjoy doing these quizzes to keep my brain occupied, to improve my knowledge, and to support the chosen charities. My aim is to send in a completed entry! - this time I can. Many thanks for your help.

You're welcome!

rinkleez did you get no.26 it is an anagram of the first word and the answer starts with B and ends with M
I am still stuck on no 61

Rinkleez: I think No. 61 relates to a Shelley poem, Ozymandias, first line: "I met a ____ from an antique land". The answer is one of Robert E Lee's horses.
I'm nearly finished myself. Just two to get.
14. Watch the horse (6). I think that "watch" might mean "those who stand sentry at night"="GUARDS" and "the horse" could mean "cavalry" = "horseguards" = "GUARDS" giving the answer "GUARDS". But I can also find arguments to choose "QUARTZ" and "SENTRY" as answers. Any help would be appreciated.
20. Have a go at French firm (6). That's the clue but I am stumped. I've played with A TRY and SHOT and LA and LE and even AU for "at the" but to no avail. Happy to trade clues for pointers.
