How about "tighten": TIGHT ten tight = tipsy ten = cardinal (number)
And you think you'll be noodled because "t" is clued twice in charade portion... or because "restrict" also acts as a shortener of word "tight", restricting it to "tigh"...??
Shroeder's "capital" could be solution to: Cardinal to hightail with Tam O'Shanter! (7) (high = anagram ind)
