Good morning,
Stuck on the following and would like some answers/hints to
complete the Unclueds, some of which I already have. Thanks
in advance!

12 Prizes at dance which Desperate Dan patronises? (7, hyphened): P?O?O??
17 Top chess player in compound (6) : M?T???
24 With various actors, Ginger shared the lead (9) : ?L???A?E?

9 Dortours
10 Neyland

Hope you finish off the Unclued entries.

Quick correction - Neyland is a town in Wales - Nayland is a village in the Stour valley.

Thanks, MrNZ, I misremembered my answer!

Many thanks, NACW and ProfessorMaisie! I managed to solve all the Unclueds with the exception of one pair ( 11/38 ) which I would like to work out myself. Perhaps I went astray with the following. Help appreciated. thanks!

27(D) Dressage music? (7): RAGTIME ?
31(D) That’s a relief! (5) : CAMEO ?
34(D) Initially hung up salted, smoked fish (4) : HAMS ?

34. Huss initial letters

Glad I could help, Matakari. 11/38 shouldn't be too tricky for you...!

[Matakari]

Yes, everything has fallen into place now with some
delightful anagram work. Thanks, all!

[Neveracrossword]

Glad we helped, Matakari.
