Expected successor to position or estate (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

heir

(Other definitions for heir that I've seen before include "One expected to succeed?" , "One likely to succeed" , "The first boy maybe" , "Treasured family possession" , "Successor, next in line" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
