Not sure. From Chess results -
48 Foster Chantelle L ENG 1901
49 Roy Ali SCO 1891
But Ali is 46 on the official site with a grade of 1889 and Chantelle is 50 graded 1872. I'm guessing there was a FIDE update between entry and event and organisers are using most recent grades. Ali's current rating is 1891.
