Think it's finished but would like second opinions on these answers
5a Reds ,the first to open with female pitcher (4)
Ewer ?

6d
Nice in anticipation of expected gift (5)
Endue

23a One neglected grey place near Mizpah, according to Samuel (4)
Shen

[Lie-in King]

They all ok -

Ewer - 'ewe' (open with female) + 'r(eds)' (the first)
Endue (gift; supply [with]) - 'en' (Fr. [Nice] "in") + 'due'
(a)Shen ('one' neglected)
