Butcher reportedly pulled vehicle, helped by runners (6)
I believe the answer is:
sleigh
'pulled vehicle helped by runners' is the definition.
(pulled vehicle that has sliding runners underneath)
'butcher reportedly' is the wordplay.
'butcher' becomes 'slay' (I've seen this before).
'reportedly' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'slay' is a homophone of 'SLEIGH'.
(Other definitions for sleigh that I've seen before include "transport (with bells on!)" , "transport in snowbound area" , "vehicle drawn by reindeer" , "Transport in winter" , "Horse-drawn sledge" .)
