Thanks for this imagcq.

1) Type of express, perhaps, chasing its tail (6) - STRAIN?
Train (express, perhaps) + s (tail of express) giving strain – type?

2) East German-wealthy person who refuses to recognise reality (7)- OSTRICH
Ost – East in German, with rich- wealthy giving ostrich – person who refuses to recognise reality?

3) Course: it's about Herod, initially (9)- ANTIPASTI?
Herod was Herod Antipas with “it” about gives antipasti – a course?

3) In earlier times, power to study brings personal growth (6/3/6)- MIDDLE AGE SPREAD?
In earlier times – middle ages + p – personal + read – study gives middle age spread – “personal growth”?

This gives SNOHAIMD- ADMONISH?

Thanks again.
AB

Thanks, imagcq
Very clever clues.
I've been enjoying the fine weather, then celebrating my daughter's birthday, so this is the first look I've had - don't think I would have got any, though!
