Our second Monthly Prize Crossword was set by Alchemi (who also set yesterday’s Not The Saturday Prize Puzzle, which is well worth solving). Solvers were asked to identify the theme of the crossword and to supply the missing member of the group so revealed.

Without further ado, this month’s winner is Alex McKinlay (Axe). Congratulations to him. To those who were unlucky this time, the next prize crossword will appear on Saturday 4 August.

Starting at 5d and reading clockwise, the four names were Sinha, Hegerty, Wallace and Labbett. These are the surnames of the four chasers on the British game show The Chase broadcast on ITV and hosted by Bradley Walsh.
