I am really struggling today - I see there are geniuses out there who know the answers!
11 across ?I???T?? Performed start of play cold - it's instructive (8)
7 down D?T??? Find fault with Tory leader replacing female (6)
19 across ?I???Y Rise managed to break setter's depression

Thanks for any assistance

Thanks for explanations - I can see detect now and misery - sometimes you can't see the wood for the trees
