Having great difficulty getting started with this - have precisely one answer so far! Can you help with the following?
3d.The performer will fast(4,3,8)
4a.Bishop sanctioned entering to invite divine favour on some with cloven hooves(8) I can only think of Ungulate
20d. A star, but not one of the big wheels(6) I thought it was dipper but I have ???T??
16d. Scroll recalling Noah's son bearing,for instance, misfortune(8) I thought it might be Calamity but not sure why!!
20d . . . . just to clarify the 'Star' reference, Castor was a great horseman and his brother Pollux was a formidable boxer. Together, they were the "Heavenly Twins" often associated with the constellation Gemini.
