Yes , am still struggling with this one , clues are not so much cryptic as oblique !!

26 ac ( 7 letters )
'Now entering races - nothing to it '

I have T_E_E_O , the only word I can make is 'thereto' , probably wrong but if not would like to understand reasoning ?

Thanks

to it = thereto

now = here inside TT (races) with O (nothing)

Thanks guys , that wraps it up , .

I didn't like 11 ac 'The changing of the guard' much either , apart from it fits in with the words I put around it !

The guard is an anagram of daughter which is the parsing for the clue
