Stuck on a couple at the top:
4 across -
Reverse up past roundabout, steer to the left - that's one's course (6,4)
O?T??? S?U?

and 6 down
Current information about radius showing areas of dying tissue (8)
??F?R?T?

Thanks! I should have got infarcts, but I can't see the oxtail soup, except it seems to be going backwards - can you explain? :)

Sorry Harpist, I had a bit of trouble with this one - I got it mainly from other letters I had.
Steer gave me Ox - up is at the end and the rest seemed to just slot in, but sorry I can't explain better than that.

Oh yes, the steer helps. Thanks, Dandelion. I've tried to figure out something for the middle bit and thought L for left and IS for one's, but I'm still left wondering what the rest is. Maybe some other bright spark can enlighten us.

Hi
I worked it out as
OX (to the left i.e. start of word)
TAIL = reverse
1 (one) S
O = roundabout
UP
I bet there's a better explanation out there somewhere :)
