Congratulations this month go to Sanket Anurag Shrivastava who has achieved a maiden victory with a very nice cryptic definition – and that is also Sanket's second podium finish for this year.
 
Not too far back in second spot it's John Tozer – his first top 5 finish of this year – whose clue incorporated a clever definition.
 
Sawbill came next in third place – a deceptive definition that worked in well with the wordplay, some nice anagram fodder too (who doesn't like a Cornetto?)
 
Fourth place went to Vinod Raman who conjured up another deceptive definition.
 
Finally, Nathan Townsend grabs his second podium of the year taking 5th place and once again a nicely deceptive definition.
 
Thanks as always to everyone for taking part – good luck with your Printer's Deveilry!
