Just one left, but there are a few I find slightly odd.

4D - Are, perhaps, with Boz when introduced to temptation (4-7)

I have LONG-MEASURE. I suspect that "Are" should actually be "Area". Boz is "ME", but I can't parse the rest.

14D - Did Frank finish in extreme rush? (8)

I have "STAMPEDE". "Frank" is "STAMP" and "finish in extreme" is "ED" but I can't parse the last "E".

40D - Big shot on target (6)

I have "LEGEND" but can't parse "target".

And finally:

37D - Almost totally neglect work (5) - F?R?E

I have no idea what this could be.

Any tips would be welcome.

37 would have been a good entry for last week's PR (or CL?)

Thanks Malone.

I think 37D has to be "FORGE" (FORGEt).

30. Legend, big shot. Leg = On, cricket stuff (probably) and End, target.

Thanks, Seamus. Yes, we'd put in Forge.
