There are a lot of clues this month but none stood out and I found it hard to allocate big points. I awarded most points to 5 which works well and would have me thinking and to 3 as the best of the shock envelopes. I also gave points to 7 because the clue makes sense as a statement and for me is the pick of the Shylocks. I also gave points to 37 which is very clever and would have allocated more were it not a little too easy to solve.
