The one I'm struggling with is: "Losing head, big man cuffs a robber on old US highway (4,5)". Any ideas?

Sorry I'm stuck on that one too and 16 down Commentator that was in touch about describing Desert Orchid at last making it to the front ??N? G?E?G. They are the last 2 - can anyone help?

Tony Greig maybe

Tony Greig looks good

Desert Orchid - GREY
Last to front - YGRE
That was (?) - ON
Touch - TIG

Best I can offer.

I think that's it Mamya - If the Def. is 'Commentator that was', then 'About' might be ON.

Re 'Losing head, ...' do you have any letters?

Now I think it's road agent which is another term for highway man in America

Road Agent is an American term for Highwayman
