Changing to Sun's ad brings surprises! (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

astounds

'surprises' is the definition.
(astounding is a kind of surprising)

'changing to sun's ad' is the wordplay.
'changing' indicates anagramming the letters.
'to'+'suns'+'ad'='tosunsad'
'tosunsad' is an anagram of 'ASTOUNDS'.

'brings' acts as a link.

(Another definition for astounds that I've seen is " Amazes, astonishes".)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
