Just the one where I'm not happy with the parsing :-  Dread of stomach lurgy coming to the fore (7) B?G?E?R.  Looks like it ought to be BUGBEAR (Dread) but, whilst BUG is fine as stomach lurgy, how does coming to the fore = BEAR?   TIA.

Bear = stomach/stand put before bug

Bugbear - 'bear' (stomach) with 'bug' (lurgy, to the fore; first)

Stomach is bear.
