| Comments on the clues |
|---|
| 1. Action involving leader of hunt? |
|
| 4. Bury heroin in case of pursuit |
| 1. | ‘of’ is getting in the way here |
|
| 5. Charles makes hands-off arrangement with Harry (5) |
| 1. | ‘makes’ is superfluous for me, add an apostrophe to the end of Charles and this would have been very good. |
|
| 6. Church entertains repeatedly – it's an exciting scene |
| 1. | Build-your-own wp (interesting idea) really demands a tighter def, I think. | | 2. | I like the def here, but I don’t like ‘entertains repeatedly’ for HAS. |
|
| 12. Go after rich as elite sheltered |
| 1. | These work as def [which] fodder hides: must be present (or perfect, implying a present state) to work properly. |
|
| 13. Go after slice of mocha served |
| 1. | Waiter! This coffee's undrinkable! |
|
| 15. Harry and Charles finally reconcile |
| 1. | Perfect, but for the fact that harry doesn't mean chase – something much more brutal. |
|
| 19. Hound ignoring cat's brief murmur in grip |
| 1. | A word whose surface meaning needs explaining has failed to misdirect. |
|
| 20. Hue and cry caught man about heartless assaults (5) |
| 1. | Can ‘heartless’ indicate removing all letters inside ‘assaults’? Not for me! |
|
| 21. Hunt for cash, crooked leader escapes (5) |
| 1. | The last two words are next to each other, but that's all. I shouldn't have to guess what you want, but be able to read it. | | 2. | Your parse shows you need ‘of’ for the grammar to work |
|
| 22. Hunt ? Unfortunately he's a Conservative !(5) |
|
| 23. In which to see chestnut heading from Aintree with empty saddle? |
|
| 24. Opening parts of Chatterley's mostly sex. Gamekeeper's on the job here! |
| 1. | Interesting how an open-ended indication (as for CHA) looks ok in a simple wp construction. |
|
| 29. Pursue leads from Crimewatch, hoping a suspect emerges (5) |
| 1. | Quite nice, worth a podium. |
|
| 30. Pursue witch, as evil at heart |
| 1. | Big-hearted woman, so obviously not a witch. |
|

|
| 33. Reach a secluded housing trail (5) |
| 1. | What's a housing trail? |
|
| 34. Romance — if a match has it you've found a mate |
| 1. | Best clue by far, some may find this too subtle however. |
|
| 36. Search… in case husband hides! (5) |
| 1. | best of the H in CASE clues |
|
| 38. Try to catch a sequel here (5) |
|
