Mornin' all.

"He works with hard scores in some orchestras" = maestro.

"Tussle with wild steer, introducing lasso at first" = wrestle. So the steer is 'wild', we introduce the L - where does the W come from?

"Study of shy bats in campsite abroad" = metaphysics. The root clue seems inadequate here (study of) or am I missing something?

"Player notices husband overcoming resistance" = sportsman.

Many thanks.

"He works with hard scores in some orchestras" = maestro.

Anagram of the words 'some orchestra' minus 'h'ard & 'scores'.

"Tussle with wild steer, introducing lasso at first" = wrestle. So the steer is 'wild', we introduce the L - where does the W come from? The 'w' is an abbreviation for 'wild', I think.

"Player notices husband overcoming resistance" = sportsman.

'spots'/notices + 'r'esistance + 'man'/husband.

I think you are quite right.

Anagram of 'shy' + 'campsite'.

"The 'w' is an abbreviation for 'wild', I think."

Thanks Jim. First time I've seen a word being used to two ends - for me, the 'wild' meant to jiggle the word 'steer'.

You're quite right I think: the 'w' is an abbreviation for the word 'with' in the clue.
