[vakayu]

sorry just noticed letters=recapitulating?

[CrypticCath]

Thanks very much!

Vakayu,good thought but it doesn't fit in with 4 Down which is "nineteenth hole".I suspect it's something to do with spelling as in magicians,etc.I hate those ominous question marks after a clue!

Your reason for the answers are much appreciated

[vakayu]

prestidigitating is to do with spells as in magic

[CrypticCath]

Update on the last one...the letters I have are as follows
