A pointless pursuit (4,5,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wild goose chase

(Other definitions for wild goose chase that I've seen before include "race to reach Canada, say" , "Perhaps going after Canada" , "waste of time" , "journey to no good purpose" , "The sort of pursuit" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Sunday Times.
