It's that man again! Dave Parfitt continues his fine run of form and claims his third win this year! A beautifully constructed anagram with a lovely surface reading. Hearty congratulations Dave.
 
Just a whisker behind the winner, Toby is another showing some decent form and returns to the podium after his win in March – nice anagram again, and a topical surface. Well done Toby.
 
Kenneth, using the same anagram as Toby, was just squeezed back into a very close third – second podium of the year.
 
A little bit of a gap back to 4th spot, John Tozer maintains his consistent campaign.
 
Finally a new name for the Top 5 – Ramki, in just his third competition, manages to secure 5th place. Well done Ramki, and welcome!
