Catch, we’re told, glimpses (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

sees

'glimpses' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'catch we're told' is the wordplay.
'catch' becomes 'seize' (I've seen this before).
'we're told' shows a homophone (sound like).
'seize' sounds like 'SEES'.

(Other definitions for sees that I've seen before include "Notices" , "Understands" , "Spots" , "Observes or perceives" , "Observes the bishops' domains" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
