LEEKS
PONCHO
7*(50+100/25)-10=368 (went over time)
CORING
MONTHS (wondered about 'MONTIES')
4*75+6+4=310
ANTLER
4*(100+10/2)=420 (not sure why I did it this way rather than Louise's simpler solution)

Louise: Yes, several tough letters rounds. Despite that, there were three full monties available! (Two of them in the same round, mind you.) You were close to one of them with INFLATE, in fact.
Mike: I also wondered about MONTIES. Only when looking at solutions later did I realise that MOISTEN is a safe anagram of it. MONTY is listed as a variant form of MONTE, which is pluralisable (colloquial for "a certainty to win"), but as is often the case the explicit plural form is not listed.
Great to see those full monties! I thought about reinflate but thought it would need a hyphen - next time!
