Thank you loads to factor30, oldred and mamyalynne! I was totally foxed.

Just one left which I think is an anagram?

[goldenview]

With the answers you've given me, I wonder if 5d could be RUBRIC? It fits but I can't work out if that makes sense with the clue?

[Mamyalynne]

Rubric does mean written in red and also a class or category?

Great! Thanks mamyalynne. :)
