Struggling a lot this week, so any help with these three would be much appreciated to get me started again!
17a) In Scotland, fit leaders running come out on top (5) REES? 7d) Support for card game can be taken away (8) L?O???L? 14a) Hit for so much (5) ?A???
Definitely tanto...tan = hit and to = for...giving tanto = how much, as an Italian musical term.
I put 'reest' in as that is the only word in Chambers that fits. I could see no reason for it whatsoever clue-wise yesterday morning...still can't!
I'm sure someone will clarify why/whether 'reest' is correct.
