Comments on the clue
1.Precise definition, appealing image conjured up by the surface reading and sound but interesting wordplay – surely a winner!
2.Very neat misleading definition.
3.Clash of tenses. 'Spoils' would have been better.

Some very good clues this time and hard to choose between them. In the end I chose 31 and 50 as equal top because of the precise definition, appealing image conjured up by the surface reading and sound but interesting wordplay.
