Dirge composed for bank (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ridge

'bank' is the definition.

'dirge composed' is the wordplay.
'composed' is an anagram indicator.
'dirge' is an anagram of 'RIDGE'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for ridge that I've seen before include "there's a lot of pressure in it" , "Top line of roof" , "Elongated area of high pressure" , "roof-tree" , "Narrow raised strip or elongated region" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
