Jinty again.
I made a mistate with one letter last time.
28a copy in rivalry, 7 letters, Is (imitate)
23a extreme in degree 7 ltrs. Is (intense)
26a breatjing noisily 7 ltrs S?U?F?? ! My f comes from, ( of flesh), loose and fat 6 ltrs I put Flabby.
but can't get those clues to fit in with 23d score, account, 5 ltrs, which I thought might be TOTAL, thatvwould mean 26a endingvwith an L
hope above is understandable?
