In races on slope beside river these are taken off balance (4,7)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
bank charges
'beside river these are taken off balance' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'in races on slope' is the wordplay.
'in races' becomes 'charges' (charging is a kind of racing. I am not sure about the 'in' bit.).
'on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'slope' becomes 'bank' (bank is a kind of slope).
'charges' put after 'bank' is 'BANK CHARGES'.
