Have finished todays crossword but I don't fully understand two of the answers, although fairly certain they are correct.
I would be really grateful if somebody could fully explain them for me, to give me 'peace of mind'!!
21a Calm girl's endless charm (6) -I-P-L (Dispel)?
27a Get on seat gripping bits of trace (8) -T-A-D-E (Straddle)?
Thanks

Sarumite to elaborate on Straddle.

Seat= Saddle.....Gripping (inside) bit of trace= TR

S TR ADDLE= Get on
