Dwarfs on trails (11)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

overshadows

'dwarfs' is the definition.
('overshadow' can be a synonym of 'dwarf')

'on trails' is the wordplay.
'on' becomes 'over' (over can mean on top of).
'trails' becomes 'shadows' (I've seen this in another clue).
'over'+'shadows'='OVERSHADOWS'

(Another definition for overshadows that I've seen is " dwarf".)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
