Culmer is probably asleep at the moment, but can someone parse #41? I see the anagram, but not sure where 'preceding content' fits.

I'd guess a double def with preceding content = "A newspaper article or headline reproduced in a later issue"

Thanks, buddy, that looks likely.

Thanks for all your entries. A great range of clues, giving me no easy task.
There were anagrams from chrise 2, geeker 32, buddy 31&33, culmer 41, and clever subbies from geeker 14, simplesimon 19, FJ 29, geeker 30 and tyke 40.
I was interested to see the compound anagrams from buddy 6, jono 7 and geeker 18.
Aristo's neat 'forage' clue is in a class of its own – a reverse composite?
Paul's 7 and dorrien's 15 raised a smile.
While normally not a fan of indirect anagrams, (or indirect subtractions) I appreciated the ingenuity of geeker's 14&18, and spike's 'argonauts'.
I liked the 'agouti' clues from geeker 12 (the only 'hidden' clue), patrich 20 and jono 21, and the sports clues from buddy 13, patrich 28.

My short list included buddy 6, 9&13, paul 10, dorrien 15, jono 16, patrich 20&25, aristo 39, tyke 40.
For combining tricky wordplay with a neat surface, I'm going with buddy's compound anagram #6 as this week's winner;
This stew, with effort I'm exerting, could be fit for a gourmet
Well done, buddy! Your prizes are;
Probably irrelevant, but the rodent

Good work Buddy, would have been my first choice. Also liked Aristo’s clue. Many thanks Mattrom, we all learnt something about the agouti! Love that the music video only has 55 views (at the time of writing) maybe we can get them a few more.

It's an hono(u)r to be chosen first among equals.

Thanks for the clips mattrom. The song, as you may know, is a cover of an old Robert Johnson song:

Now, as fate would have it, I'm off to cook a ragout of sorts (it's chili night at chez buddy).
