4, Recusant ?

4, R ecus ant.

1/10 y chromosome fits the male part of the clue but can not parse the rest.

The clue was not correctly shown and the letter count was wrong

01/10 PETER SCHMEICHEL The sheep circle round about male 14
M (=male) in *(THE SHEEP CIRCLE); “round” is anagram indicator; the definition is “great Dane” (=entry at 14), referring to footballer Peter Schmeichel, Man U and Denmark goalkeeper

14 is part of the clue.(refers to clue 14)
The correct letter count is 15

Thanks Cerasus. It makes sense now.
