Finished the crossword,but just want a second opinion on 5a - Favourites backed at university accelerate (4,2) ?T?P ?P
Pretty sure it's STEP UP.Can anyone confirm this right answer? I don't quite understand the clue.Though I get the 'accelerate'part of the clue,I'm not sure about 'Favourites backed'.Could be a betting term perhaps!! Many thanks,if anyone can help.
