Bloodthirsty guards suspended fast (2,6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

go hungry

'fast' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'bloodthirsty guards suspended' is the wordplay.
'bloodthirsty' becomes 'gory'.
'guards' is an insertion indicator.
'suspended' becomes 'hung' (I've seen this before).
'gory' going around 'hung' is 'GO HUNGRY'.

(Another definition for go hungry that I've seen is " fast".)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
