Apple sent over to Syrian city (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

aleppo

'syrian city' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'apple sent over' is the wordplay.
'sent' indicates an anagram (send can mean to excite or stimulate).
'over' becomes 'o' (cricket abbreviation).
'apple' is an anagram of 'alepp'.
'alepp'+'o'='ALEPPO'

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for aleppo that I've seen before include "Middle East city" , "Lap Poe around the Syrian city" , "War-torn city of Syria" , "City in Syria - lop ape (anag)" , "Foreign city" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
