Fresh new victims for Dracula? (5,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

young blood

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'dracula?' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'fresh new victims' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'new' could be 'young' (associated in meaning) and 'young' is located in the answer.
The remaining letters 'blood' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for young blood that I've seen before include "(Infusion of) fresh strength" , "Fresh intake of personnel (colloq.)" , "renews when brought in" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
