Girl seen on Circle line? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lasso

'line?' is the definition.
(lasso is a kind of line)

'girl seen on circle' is the wordplay.
'girl' becomes 'lass' (lass is a kind of girl**).
'seen on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'circle' becomes 'o'.
'lass'+'o'='LASSO'

(Other definitions for lasso that I've seen before include "Belgian composer" , "A cowboy's rope with a running noose" , "Rope with 20" , "Rope for catching livestock" , "Cowcatcher" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
