A rake's inclination? (5)

I believe the answer is:

slant

I believe this is a double definition.

'a rake's' is the first definition.
('slant' can be a synonym of 'rake')

'inclination?' is the second definition.
(slant is a kind of inclination)

(Other definitions for slant that I've seen before include "Lean, point of view" , "Lie obliquely" , "It's at an angle to the horizontal" , "Slope, lean" , "Angle; slope" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
