One I'm struggling to parse:

5D Groom's crazy about old flame. (9)

S T _ _ L _ M _ N

I'm thinking it must be STABLEMAN (= a groom) but cannot work out the rest at all. Any suggestions?

Stableman, groom.
Stab = Bats, crazy (about, so reversed) and Leman is an old word for lover.

Old flame is LEMAN (as in a sweetheart).
With a reversal of BATS for crazy.

Thank you Malone / Jono, Leman is an entirely new word for me!
