Hunky dragoons are bewildered to be in such a weak position (2,5,6)
I believe the answer is:
on shaky ground
'be in such a weak position' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'hunky dragoons are bewildered' is the wordplay.
'are bewildered' is an anagram indicator.
'hunky'+'dragoons'='hunkydragoons'
'hunkydragoons' with letters rearranged gives 'ON SHAKY GROUND'.
'to' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
