20d Cyclist possibly taking gamble round fourth of corners (6) ?a????

Wagner I think. Wager around (cor)n(ers).

Unless there IS a cyclist called Wagner I take it as a reference to the Ring

[lloyd1e]

Many thanks dzug - think your theory re The Ring must be correct. Haven't heard of a cyclist called Wagner either! If there is however, no doubt there'll be a correction here 'ere long!

A particular series of Wagner's operas is, of course, called "The Ring Cycle"...that's what makes him a 'cyclist'.
