Thank you to all who submitted clues, right up to this Sunday, my birthday. Also, many thanks for the good wishes for the day.

Just a handful of entries this week, so I'm looking forward to a bumper effort next week.

Commended:

Kieron Dineen, Newport: Proscuitto was once a rotten actor (5,3) CURED HAM

Duncan Robertson, London: Heavenly line, say, refined (7) ELYSIAN

And the winners:

BRONZE: Kieron Dineen, Newport's nice image and definition, but would have preferred the nounal 'starts' to 'begins' in the clue: Thatcher begins to recall obvious omissions from early reshuffles (6) ROOFER

SILVER: Kieron Dineen, Newport: A very good anagram in: What's in store for the races? A very wet storm (7,8)

AND THE WINNER!

GOLD: Trevor Kenning, Broadstairs, for his definition in: Close to money (change) almost legal tender (11) NIGHTINGALE

Have a great week!

All the best,

John (Paul)
