Choose an entrance for dictator and Spanish provocateur (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

picador

'spanish provocateur' is the definition.
(someone who provokes a bull in bull-fighting)

I cannot understand how the remainder of the clue works.

(Other definitions for picador that I've seen before include "The bullfighter who goads the animal" , "Animal killer" , "fighter with lance" , "Lancer" , "Horseman in bullring" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
