Io is the master, no doubt about it as far as I am concerned. This time he kindly lets me finish with the grid filled and everything explained. Thank you Io.
Financial Times 15,195 by HAMILTON
An unusual occurence for me to blog on a Tuesday. Thanks to Hamilton for a fun puzzle that had me galloping for 90% of the solve time and coming unstuck for the remainder. 🙂

Financial Times 15,176 – Dante
Monday Prize Crossword / Feb 29, 2016
I quite liked this Dante puzzle.

Financial Times 15,184 by REDSHANK
I very much enjoy Redshank puzzles. I cannot give any explicit reason why I find them so pleasing. The clues use just the same sorts of words and devices as every other crossword but somehow I find the end result more elegant than most. Thank you Redshank.
