Aspired (5)

Ross

I think it could be either:

aimed

hoped

'aspired' is the definition.
('aim' can be a synonym of 'aspire')

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for aimed that I've seen before include "Directed towards specified goal" , "Tried; pointed" , "Directed, targeted" , "Drew a bead on" , "Planned, intended to try" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph and the Penny Press.
