[boxtops]

In which case... ^^what danny said

[Lie-in King]

Tel 26,894 - full clue is...

9a Noble descent takes precedence in medical analysis (5,5)

Danny has it ^^

[boxtops]

Doh..........why don't people post the full clue..... :-(

[M_bouchon]

I have "Loose box" for 4 down, which doesn't fit with "Blood lines", I was thinking of "Blood count" for 9 across - it brings in the medical analysis and "noble" elements of the clue, but I am stuck on 6 down - so far I have T---E-.
Any ideas ?

[M_bouchon]

Sorry - my error, the last post should have read 5 down, NOT 6 down.

[Lie-in King]

Hi M_bouchon - it's usually a good idea to begin your own thread - more likely to be seen on the front page, also to post the full clue so that people without the puzzle can also help you :-))

I think you mean 5d, btw...

5d Pedlar or potter? (6) T???E?

Thanks for the tip Lie-in King, I'll remember that for the future.
