thanks, jono - thought Timon was a bit strained, even for the day after S's birthday ...

There is a Shakespearean character by the name Lord + 23d in King John, incidentally. I just checked in Google.

Finished - thanks be to OneLook Dictionary for weirdnesses like 19a!

I assume that the wordplay for the long one is an anagram but I haven't worked out which words in the clue are the material.

Finished this at last. A bit of a struggle and not happy with some of the “anagrams”. FOI 22ac. LOI 17d mainly because I thought it began with O having a different solution to 17ac which I couldn’t parse. 1d came to me in the shower for some reason. COD 9ac or 25ac

1d: I can't see an anagram in the clue.
Is the answer a sportsman?

...and sorry, yes it’s a sportsman. I rather liked this clue but I seem to be on my own :-)
