still struggling with 3 answers.
last letter X - in crate having hen as classical dodgy figure (6) (Sussex?) If so, why?
D - so get ahead and take another's place (7)
E- she's been given a ring (7)
Any help appreciated!
in crate refers to "box" and is part of the other half clue "Bordeaux"
Therefore
Sus (dodgy) + sex (latn/classical For 6 (figure) = Sussex (type of hen)
