Possibly a tough one?

I have a gap in southwest corner.
Please can I have a hint for 20d.
Have been staring for a long time. Anagram of paint to start?

Paint is the definition and mass is the extra word.

Paint is the def. It's a subtractive anagram of a 12-letter word minus a jumble of a 5-letter word.

Thanks both, got it, that should really help.

All done and happy with parsing, including of hidden clues, with two exceptions. I know it doesn’t really matter but for completeness any nudges for the parsing of 37 and 19 would be much appreciated.

27 is a rather fiddly anagram where AP (ante prandium) has to be removed from FLY HAPPY, and RD (exhausted, i.e. empty round) thrown into the mix

19 word for frustrated with last letter moved on by one alphabetically (e.g. X becomes Y)

Ignore previous for 37 - FLY is the def. The rest stands with IS as part of the anagram. Sorry,

37 - anagram of hpy (happy less ap), is & rd (round exhausted)
19 - beat (frustrated) with its last letter moved on

on as in forwards
