Demand points to follow (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

entail

'demand' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'points to follow' is the wordplay.
'points' becomes 'en'.
'to follow' becomes 'tail' (I've seen this before).
'en'+'tail'='ENTAIL'

(Other definitions for entail that I've seen before include "Have as a logical consequence" , "legal restriction" , "Involve or require" , "Involve or make necessary" , "Bring on, involve" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
