Times2 Jumbo 817

44a. Unlikely to succeed. 2, 1, 6, 2, 7. I have at the moment "on (in) a h-d-n- to nothing" Perhaps I'v e got one of the down clues wrong, but cannot see where. Thanks in advance.

44a On a hiding to nothing

Thanks Lie-in-King, you are, as ever, my saviour. Not an expression I know to be honest.

Where is this Jumbo? I bought a Times today, but there's only the usual daily crossword in it.
