Thanks to both of you. As a NZer I should have seen Campion!
I now have 1. which is typecast. two others still elude me despite having so many letters.
Girl, pretty small type P?A?L I guess PEARL, but why?
Crack on sale by river vexes some upper-class young ladies (6,7) S?O?N? R?N?E?S

Jumbuck

PEARL - I think it's a small typeface/font

SLOANE RANGERS
anagram (indicated by crack) of 'on sale' + r (river) + angers (vexes)
= UK term for middle-class female equivalent of Hooray Henries (sort of)
