Wild spree for noblemen (5)
I believe the answer is:
peers
'for noblemen' is the definition.
(peer is a kind of nobleman)
'wild spree' is the wordplay.
'wild' indicates an anagram.
'spree' with letters rearranged gives 'PEERS'.
(Other definitions for peers that I've seen before include "Looks closely at equals" , "Looks searchingly" .)
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
