Got 6d now - it's dreadful!
That leaves only one possibility for each of 9 and 14, but I still can't parse either

Yes, at first I thought it would be horsey, but the parsing gives a different second word. Anagram of abbrev. for good and reasons.

I like 6dn. Reminds me of ‘I stooped to pick a buttercup. What a buttock was doing down there I can’t imagine.’

14a is anagram, with a letter for good added to a word in the clue. 9a is a city in western Africa.

Thanks mathi. Is 9 just a (weak) cryptic definition, or is there wordplay?
