Attempts to organise rites (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tries

'attempts' is the definition.
('try' can be a synonym of 'attempt')

'organise rites' is the wordplay.
'organise' is an anagram indicator.
'rites' is an anagram of 'TRIES'.

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for tries that I've seen before include "Attempts" , "Scoring moves in rugby" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
