20a is Spotlamp not lamppost
23d is a themed answer and is PASSANT (incidentally)
The rest of the clue (Runs int duke belongs to 33a = First (R(uns) in Fist (duke)
The wordplay for passant comes from 31a
31a "long to keep American behind"
Pant (long) (around) + as s (American bhind)= Passant *the answer for 23d)

o from this you can gather that 23d, 31a and 33a are three of the themed answers, and are not ones with the superfluous letters.

Thanks a lot. I didn't see spotlamp. Should have got it as the answer is light
I should just the themed answers were (en) passant, and first (xi), but only passant and first are inserted as the answer
