11D Capes for troops (9) ?A?A?I?E?

13A Nurse soft spot (5) P?O??

15D Cutting Telegraph man's job (7) SC??I?G [SCALING or maybe SCORING ?]

11 palatines (double def)

Thanks for the help :)

P - soft nurse- look - plook - spot?

PLOOK sounds good thanks

Long shot

cutting - scaling down
Telegraph man's job - scaling up

An interesting thought - I think SCALING might be possible but also SCORING

For those who don't have it, this week's Wee Stinker is here:

Stuck on four but this will help with 19D & 20D:

23A Naughty nurse (best of?) (9) ?????I?US

FRACTIOUS, NOTORIOUS and SALACIOUS all fit but I can't parse the rest of the clue.

Also stuck on:

17A A silk split (5) ??A?L

23A anagram of NURSE OF and A1 (best)
