Are you sure about the R in the 6-letter one? (Andrew) Conway looks to be a possibility if not.

69 Across is Murray.The first letter is M,not C. 62 down is SUMMARISING, then you get the M for Murray! I am also stuck on 84 accorss (9) _R_H_A_C_

[Mamyalynne]

Orchestra looks good for the other.

noelshan, look up, Calibax has answered 84a as Orchestra (maybe revisit some of your answers?)

[noelshan]

Not sure ORCHESTRA is right. The sixth letter seems to A not S as the clue that it overlaps with is 'Southern English Racecourse (9)' and the first letter in that is the one that is sixth in the clue 'it accommodates a lot of different players'. The Racecourse seems to AYLESBURY and 4 other letters in that fit with other clues. Also the second last last Letter in 'it accommodates a lot of different players' seems to be C as it overlaps with the 5th letter in 'Greenness, naivety (9)' which is I think INNOCENCE and 3 other letters of this fit in with other clues. It see,s that -R-H-A-C- seem to be right?

Aylesbury is a dog racing track, not horses?

[Mamyalynne]

Salisbury ?

Ignorance?

Ignorance?

[Captain2]

Which letters are definite in INNOCENCE (ignoring the second C)?

[Captain2]

...sorry, meant the first C

(But Ignorance looks good)

[Mamyalynne]

5th letter in 'Greenness, naivety' needs to be an 'R' to let 'Orchestra fit.

Thanks to all, yes, I have it now!
