Like Derby, plainly? (2,3,4)
I believe the answer is:
on the flat
'plainly?' is the definition.
(flat like a plain)
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
(Another definition for on the flat that I've seen is " where there are no fences".)
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
