16 Across is Verdure.

Verd(i) + (River) Ure
I can add an extra letter to 3d....

Fi?l?e?

It's the only clue I'm stuck on. Not sure whether it's Fielded?
Question Author
Thank you, Midnighter. I couldn't see what ant had to do with river.
I think the answer to 3D is FILLIES (horses).
This comes from almost a spur - FILLI (P) and the directions (E)ast and (S)outh. According to Chambers a fillip is a stimulus or a boost (i.e. spur).
1'm not sure about VERD(ANT & VERD(URE) There is a river Ure but there is also a river Ant (on the Norfolk Broads). The answer to 5D would make it clear but I haven't as yet solved the clue. 5D Model fighting to make game show (5,4). I have ?O??? / W???
I've got Robot Wars for 5D if that's any help.
Thanks Midnighter for "Robot Wars". This would make "verdure" correct for 16A.
Thanks, filbertfox11. It looks like Fillies is right for 3D.
