Guardian Cryptic 26579

[jubilee5684]

Entering the final straight, I hope, but struggling with 24d.

'Statue in odd places and not raised for 26d seeking 29'; I have S-U-O-.

Help, please. Thank you.

24d Sauron (from LotR) - odd letters of 'StAtUe' + 'nor' (raised)

[shaneystar2]

sauron

[scorpiojo]

S t A t U e + ron (nor reversed) = Sauron

[mallyh]

stupor?

Thanks for help, but why 'NOR' raised. My copy says 'NOT' raised. A misprint?

[scorpiojo]

And not = nor

Thanks, one and all!
