6d- odds on shaft producing jet (5) ?p?a?.. is it spray(jet)?

[Rollo]

10a Rhea

6d Yes, spray

[Lie-in King]

10a R-he-A - R(oyal ) A(cademician) + he
6d SP-ray - S(tarting) P(rice) + ray

thx again all- couldnt work out where odds on came into it..

[woolfy42]

10a RHEA ( RA grasps HE)

6d odds on = starting price = SP

It's either spear, splay or spray so I suppose I'll go with spray!
