Stuck on two.8) Nationalist queen leading support for Clydesdale ? (7) and 6d ) Revolutionary design for nurturing surrounding landscape (7) i have an idea what the solution is but not sure. Any help? Thanks.

Exactly what I was/an stuck on!
For 6d, think of what might surround a depicted landscape.
The other still eludes me

I agree with you for 6d

Could 8 be pastern? Slice of 2 plus er (queen ) and n nationalist

Yes, that must be it. had looked at that but not seen significance of Clydesdale. Now I have too many 2s though!

Have you included 2 as one? Apart from 2 , I have 5 across and 5 down

Me too, five each. Good one, would have got there faster if I hadn't been set on having 9dn as punka wallah! The fan got me on that path.

Travelling in New England and working, now and then, on clues on screen and a hand-drawn grid. Stuck on last two in SW.

For 20d I have "A???A?" and I think the answer needs a slice and that the definition is the last two words of the clue. For 23a I have "?A???O?r?" and I think I've used up all my across slices. "Racegoer" might fit but it doesn't convince me for parsing - and it doesn't work if I'm right about 20d.

Any steers?

Letters in place all correct as is your thinking re 20D...for 23A defn is (a type of) the last word.

Thank you. That old d'oh moment all over again!
