Hi everyone - help needed please on

4a - Downfall of brash hangers-on in court (10)
c?o???I???

15a - Waxes lyrical about walk primarily hugging ancients crofts? (13)
Only have an 'a' as third letter
Am afraid question marks in clues only serve to confuse me totally!

4 Cloudburst

4a cloudburst
15a smallholdings

4 cloudburst

15 Smallholdings

Thanks but regarding 4a, I am pretty sure it is
c?o???i??? - ie an 'i' instead of a 'u'.

Also could you parse 15a for me?

the answer to the down clue is
UNAPT

Waxes lyrical(SINGS) about(round) walk(MALL) primarily hugging (H)ancients(OLD) crofts

15. sings + mall + h + old

OK, penny has finally dropped !

mamya, jazzgirl and sudokulover, thank you all very much
