AP. 29 is a term in a very specific context, wordplay is single letter abbreviation (normally with a number attached) plus a word for “friends”. 29, definition is last 4 words. 20d “bread” is slang, the equine has large ears. Your first thought for 26d was right. Correct letters are read in clue order.

Sorry, second 29 should be 35. Not fully recovered yet from some “interventions” over the past wee while!

Many thanks Malone and Jack Aubrey. Those hints should help me complete my initial grid fill. With luck I will then be able to make a start on the endgame.

Thank you once again Malone and Jack Aubrey. 29 was also a completely new word to me but as for the others my only possible excuse is post-Christmas fatigue or the onset of senescence.
