                                        Hmmm.

                                        Think I've got it.

                                        Can I confirm this would be a "down" clue in the real world for me to make it work?

                                          The wordplay indicators would work either for an Across or a Down clue, I would say.

                                                  Thanks IT.

                                                  By the way, on yours, I think I'd have felt compelled to decapitalise Boxing Day, though I confess I am never entirely sure where the convention lies.

                                                    My understanding of the convention is that misleading capitalisation is ok, but not the reverse, i.e. you couldn't have 'trump suit' to refer to the President-elect's litigious activity (sorry to bring him up on here, ad hoc).
