Bit late now because I’ve sent it off but I realise I wasn’t 100% happy with my reasoning for my answer to 79A.

Heartlessly cheat Caledonian exchange (4)

I went with “heartlessly cheat” as TR(I)CK, which would then be TRCK, or TR(O)CK, Scots variant on truck, the ‘O’ removed and contributing to the Organic Message.

This was the only one I lacked confidence on. Thanks for any advice or opinions!

Trock is a Scottish word meaning 'exchange'.

Help please - just can't concentrate enough!

65a - Destroy smut on senior cop (7)

77a - My university banks in northern port (7)

40d - Ragged mum right to move in circles - I have shr????

And while I'm at it - what's the meaning of "Organic Message"? I'm missing something!

Davipde, it's an Organic message as it comes from an organ (an organ in the sense used in many crosswords)
40 Corunna

I think 40 was Shreddy, ragged - Sh, mum, be quiet, R, right and Eddy, to move in circles.

Thanks for that. I'm not a fan of CheeseCracker!

Any help on 65a?

Thanks, davipde, glad I could help. Do you have any letters for 65 A, I can't remember that one!

Davidpde, thanks - but you'd already given the clue, I was hoping you had a letter or two already...
