I hope this isn’t out a day early – Gazza has assured me that this puzzle closed for entries at 9:00am.

A rather gentle toughie from Zandio, I thought, but YMMV.
14a and 14d clues today and I have hinted at half. I hope you find the checkers to finish this. As ever I am unable to hint all of this prize puzzle, but I will try and give a nudge or two if I can.

BD Rating – Difficulty *** – Enjoyment ****
Last time I reviewed a Toughie from MynoT I said it was “difficult in places, but overall very enjoyable” – this one is very much the same. Some of the difficulties are described below, and if you can help then please leave a comment.
