Conflicts when he is in form (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

clashes

'conflicts' is the definition.
(clash is a kind of conflict)

'he is in form' is the wordplay.
'is in' indicates putting letters inside.
'form' becomes 'class' (synonyms).
'he' put within 'class' is 'CLASHES'.

'when' acts as a link.
