Comments on the clue

1.	Reasonable clue with slightly unnatural surface.
2.	A great clue that makes you think "wish I'd come up with that." Nice misleading definition. Obvious anagram, but not so easy to implement.
3.	"some lad sadly leaves" is not very smooth in the surface reading
4.	Very cleverly worded clue imho

Comments on the competition
1.
DOLMADES cried out for anagram treatment (as the number of anagrams entered testifies) but clue 2 was a nicely misleading approach.
