Is it my imagination, or week by week the standard of setting seems to be always improving?

Commended this week are:

Jacq, Liverpool, for: Artist as voiced by Boleyn? (7) CEZANNE

David Kenning, Whitstable, for: Cast in metal got from fifty pesetas (7) TYPESET

James Glassonbury, Stonehouse, Glos, for: Hang-ups at Christmas over gin stocks (9) STOCKINGS

Stephen Clarke, Sydney, for: Bad driver reportedly handled corner (4,3) ROAD HOG

Kieron Dineen, Newport, for: Drug partnership? (5,7) JOINT VENTURE

Stephen Clarke, Sydney, for: Inside edge? (4) NICK

Tom WW (address not supplied) for the imaginative clue: Glibness - it has its pros and cons (5,8)

The top three were all fabulous, but I finally settled on:

Bronze: Neil Walker, Barrow-in-Furness, for: Wine and cocktails mixed the wrong way? (13) ANTICLOCKWISE

Silver: Kieron Dineen, Newport, for: The walls of Dartmoor are not accurately proportioned (5,2,5) BUILT TO SCALE

AND THE WINNER!

Gold: Ali Gascoigne, London (because I might nick the anagram, with its author's permission (!!)), for: Performing ablutions, he's very fast (5,4) USAIN BOLT

Great stuff as ever. Thanks for all your entries, and keep them coming!
