4d is a double definition, one of which is an English city.
23a a five letter slang word for "look at", missing the last letter, then "man"

Many thanks. But it's a town not city, isn't it? Had 23 but couldn't parse

It seems you are right, shroppie - Wiki has "large town and unitary authority", but doesn't mention "city".

Any help with 12a & 15a please:
12a Bound to find drink laced with drug (4) ?E?P
15a Unhappy to concede a stroke as a player (7) ?O?N?O?

I have guesses but can't parse them....

12 "bound" as in "jump"
15 I've guessed as well - I think the "player" is a musician

Still stuck on 15A - a musician? Thought it was Down- something, or is that wrong?

Ah, got it now. Think that I've got 24across but can't parse it - is it a range of mountains?
