Thanks for your entries. The word maybe wishful thinking particularly for those in the UK and US.
I have lots of time so I thought I would spend some of it giving my humble opinion on some of the clues. I hope you don't mind.
Kept in a net, poor fish circling (9)
I like it. Surface has nice imagery and wordplay is good.
Prisoner thanks Enid in a different way - it's internal (9)
Wordplay works. A little bit of a joke? Definition a little iffy
Work and notice under control (9)
Straight anagram.. Definition good. Surface not brilliant though.
Kettle Balls held? (9)
I am an ex Brit so kettle as a verb is somewhere deep down in my grey matter. I was flummoxed by Balls until I googled. A tough solve for me had I not known the answer.
No rug - undercoating poorly kept (9)
Indirect anagram. Did we decide that these are fair? Surface a little odd.
Detain unstable prisoner prior to getting him jailed (9)
Really liked the idea and see how the definition was a bit of a struggle. I don't think it quite makes it.
Netting sea bream had to be restricted (9)
I did not know Tai definition.. Wordplay good. Surface good. Definition good.
Tai found in disadvantaged state well housed (9)
I did know this type of Tai.. I think the wordplay is fair, definition good and surface good.
Lockdown done? - I can’t, sorry! (9)
Certainly topical. Straight anagram. Should the definition be “locked down:”? Just misses podium.
Created mutant ant with injection, kept under wraps (9)
Pretty creative clue! Doubly indirect. Tough solve without crossers. Loved the definition.
And after all that
Bronze goes to Malcolm - Kept in a net, poor fish circling (9)
Silver to Mattrom - Netting sea bream had to be restricted (9)
Gold to Hannah - Tai found in disadvantaged state well housed (9)
Thanks for your forebearance.
I do hope that Kilgore Trout is safe.
See you tomorrow
