Times Jumbo Cryptic 1000

[mrsrwalsh]

I am stuck on five clues and any help would be much appreciated.
12D - Only poem never to finish in English? Crackers! (7) S?L?E?S
19d - Maybe looking for breaks in Times newspaper, coming across one in Scotland (1-6) X-?A?I?G. X-RATING or X-RAYING?
40a - Central Asian touch at start of Jumbo One Thousand (6) T?D?I?
Could it be TADJIK?
46D -Moslem turning up in France and in North America (7) S???I?E
Could it be SUNNITE?
53A -Rather casual maiden winks back, on and off (5) K???A

Thank you
