Bring back check - courted disaster (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

reintroduce

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

'check courted disaster' is the wordplay.
'check' becomes 'rein' (both can mean to control or limit).
'disaster' is an anagram indicator.
'courted' anagrammed gives 'troduce'.
'rein'+'troduce'='REINTRODUCE'

(Other definitions for reintroduce that I've seen before include "Put back" , "get back in" , "Restore" , "Bring back" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
