SS, is 'because of' not acceptable as an anagrind? If not then forget the tweak (I thought the idea of me polishing my half-erect penis might tickle 😉).

Raffles, been trying to get this to work,
One round to go. ( semi finals)
One round = IO = ten

Hence ten to go ( priapism = tentigo)
Just can’t get the final O to I to read smoothly

Happy for you to massage as we’re off bowling soon 🤔😜

Permanent hard on if I - O in the penultimate round 4,6)

See below for explanation, unless Raffles gets there first
🤔😜

The French end here (4-5)

Should be (4-6)

Once again, a big thank you for all entries to this week's Clueless. Many, many fine clues, including Motley's Acrostic and Bacchanal's FA smiles

A special mention goes to Swarbrules@34 - a lovely surface, great definition, but perhaps lacking a true anagrind
Only four left from 1000 fine sails

The top three are...

Bronze: Paul@38 - I actually prefer the 'Norway miss' clue but the definition here is more universal
Messi failing to take out veteran, perhaps, at this stage of the competition

Silver: Raffles@23 - an elegant anagram, a smooth and natural surface
I film Sean's performance in deciding matches

Gold: Jono@33 - precise and technically accomplished with the clever deception of 'qualifier'
Qualifier in important second round (4-6)

Congratulations Jono and well done all!
