Spectator # 2469

[Matakari]

Like the idea of anagrams for Shakespeare’s characters. I’m stuck on the following for which I have some ideas but am not sure, and would therefore like help (Answers/Hints) to continue, please! Thanks in advance!
ACROSS:
9 Athletic blue bound by IOU? As if! (7, three words):?A?????
11 Muddling along with me, my monkey and ape matter (7): ????E?A
14 How Wasps may be: Anglo-Saxon and rich (6): ???A?M
20 Wading birds are beginning to love large fresh bacon sandwiches ????LEE (7)
21 Country apparel rejected by short hind (7): ?R?T?E?
30 Polish slattern produces cosh (7): ?????IG
35 Section of column liveried lad fails to finish (4): ?I??
40 Latin reassembled aged insect parts (7): ????EDE
DOWN:
3 Tense parrot soaring in Alpine district (5): ???O?
5 I deny ruler snubbed monarch heading north (7): ???E???
32 Mendicants frequently group before climbing palm tree (5): ?R??I

3d the usual Alpine district ... T with a 4 letter parrot reversed

[roslyn251254]

32d frequently = fr + ita palm tree reversed

[roslyn251254]

21 it's a country ...try chambers word wizard...then see if you can parse it yourself

[roslyn251254]

14a AS (anglo-saxon) + 4 letter synonym for rich (not the money sense) defn refers to wasps

Matakari, it'd be good to give us the possibilities you've got - as a Spectator regular, you're probably on the right track!

[Matakari]

Thank you very much for the useful hints, Roslyn251254! Any help for the others? Thanks in advance!

9a I ask you
11 Empyema
20 Grallae
30 Sandbag
35 Tiger
40 Antilae
32 Frati

[Neveracrossword]

You have mistakes in 30 A and 40 A.

[Matakari]

Thanks Shaneystar2, I'm unravelling this now.

I think 5 is RENEGER for “I deny” but apart from the ER for monarch, I’m not sure why

[roslyn251254]

5 regen(t) is the ruler snubbed

[dred]

I have everything but 1 down which is unclued SI?O?
Definition should be wind and also it’s an anagram of a Shakespeare character
Any ideas? I’m thinking SIMO(O)M

SIROC (an alt. spelling).
