Comments on the clue
1.Best of the FT clues, though an abbreviation like this just screams out to the solver where the break will occur!
2.Of all the 'for a test' ones, this was, I thought, the best
3.Very witty, best of the FTs
4.Nearly very good, but the undevilled version is not fully convincing, when one thinks about it.
