Some wordplay letters are jumbled in some clues.

When rearranged, the clue becomes normal.

For example in clue,

Opening shoot using Dutch women (6)

Rearranging letters in "shoot using" gives the correct clue.

These three may be thematic or not.

40. US casualty stopping night shifts (7) L?ER?E?

21. Scottish Water halves church cover (6) C??CH?

23. Heated canine showers? (8) ??AR?ERS

Thanks.
