17a. One who is balanced in the building (9) ?T?B?E?A?
I suspect STABLEMAN as Stable lad would be 2 words.
19d. Shown in two rings with animal or eloquence (7) Assuming adjoining letters are correct it would be A???I?Y
I'm suspecting ABILITY or AGILITY
22a. Hairy beast (6) M?????
3rd letter possibly M and 5th letter possibly I unless I've got adjoining ones wrong. Thought it could be MOHAIR but that appears to be wrong as I believe 3rd letter may be M from adjoining clue 23d.
23d. One who cuts - money due to him outside (5) ??W?R
I suspect MOWER as a) it cuts b) it contains the word OWE as in money due and c) him outside covered by 1st and last letters being MR (mister)
Very sneaky and nasty this month so any help appreciated. I have previously asked a couple of these already but when one appears to be solved it makes another one wrong.
Thanks
