@philcottie,
7 dn cartel?
58 dn distaff
47 dn I would think that this is a bass - have you checked your crosses?
took its toll is likely told
@philcottie,
I have what I think are the answers but there is one I cannot sort out namely 109 ac where the clue is MARGIN (4) and I have ET?E everything would suggest EDGE which is spoiled by the crossing word of 88 dn where the clue is group of eight and I have pencilled in OCTET so in order for EDGE to be valid would need another word for group of eight ending in "D"philcottie.
@philcottie,
Starting from scratch:
7d = CARTEL
58a = DITTANY
58d = DISTAFF
46a = TOLD
47d = DORY
88d = OCTAD
Good luck and don't come back for more.
@Dutchy,
