Sunday Times 3 Down Explanation

How do they get answer VEIL, apart from a covering? Regards David

[Captain2]

What is the clue for those of us without psychic powers?

[goodgoalie]

Well David, it would help us if you told us the clue....

[dmg1965]

Sorry, the clue is: See story about one covering boat race in the Docklands? Regards David

[Neveracrossword]

See story about one covering boat race in Docklands (4)
Veil - Lie, story, reversed (about) after V, see, Latin/vide. The 'boat race' is Cockney rhyming slang stuff, for face - which a veil could cover.

Hi Mark, Many thanks for this explanation, as would have never worked it out apart, from lie backwards! David

[Neveracrossword]

Glad I could help.
