Still struggling but perhaps some help please.
1. Second in England, seventh in Scotland, cut branches back
2. Basil brush & between walk & run, silver or golden. Thought of an answer here but could not find a horse.
3. Take part in a game, ---, in the navy or sky
4. ---, smoothing tool, young lady. ( as 2 above)
5. Could be day or bird, digits on hand. ( is the first part an error or maybe I am just stupid)
Thank you very much
