Lovatts Cryptic 229

It would help an awful lot if you gave the # of letters and if you have any of them.

Soz,

The first one is 5 letters & nothing at the moment.
The second one is 7 letters & have an idea that it might be guarded?
The third one is 7 letters & _ _ _ _ _ n_.

Thanks

Hi am not good with cryptics but these my answers
66a YEARN (why warrant is long)
49d BEAUTY (belle goes after sleeping american)
61a GUARDED (wary of being watched over)
57d ORDAINS (before exchanging dinars,second cousin makes a religious appointment)
hopefully someone will either confirm my answers or give you alternatives, good luck sandray
