23a: OCTETTE = group
http://www.thefreedictionary.com/OCTETTE

ducks out of toe-to-toe = T(o)ET(o)T(o)E
Other Contestants at first = O C

(pls give clue for 12a again - is '15 starts' part of it and is it only 5 letters?)

[Lie-in King]

12a Extrajudicially - 'extra' + 'laic' (non-pro) + 'i(1,ha)d' (back, in) 'July'
21a Burnet saxifrage - 'burn' (stream) + 'ET' + 's(ex) a(ppeal)' + 'E(uropean) gar (fish) fix (pickle)' (back)
23a Octette - 'o(ther) c(ontestants)' + 't(o)e-t(o)-t(o)e' (ducks; 'o's, out)

[Captain2]

Other contestants (at first) = OC
take ducks (OOO) out of 'toe-to-toe'

21a: burnet saxifrage ?

(can't account for XIF in the middle)
