A Thoroughly Bad Lot Quiz

[chris15]

Have tried to solve the clues by other means but now need some help from the ABers. Grateful for clues to the following:
6. Means of raising a pound... (is it related to dogs?)
31. A second-class player made a neat takeaway - (is there a cow connection?)
60. Regularly goes out with disreputable people...(I have serial for the first word)
Thanks

6 - it helps if you have a puncture.
60 - it is an anagram, think of the Tate.

[x-ray]

6. It is an animal (not a dog) which is in the title of a book/film.
31. A cattle thief
60. Anagram of regularly goes out
Hope this helps.

Thanks baitress and x-ray - both your clues helped solve 6 and 60.
Had word beginning with R for 31 but cannot see second-class connection?

6. Yes, a wild one.
31. Don't know about the cow without looking in dictionary again, but think of another word for 'player'.
60. No, not serial - it's an anagram.
Hope this is of some help. I've just signed on because I've got down to the last 3, after using all other means to solve them.

31. Here's the answer

Thanks x-ray - I had gone from rustler to hustler (a bad actor) but this gives the cattle connection. That's me done now, let's hope there aren't any more postal strikes!
