Go like a shot! (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

essay

I believe this is a double definition.

'go' is the first definition.
(thesaurus)

'a shot' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)

'like' is the link.

(Other definitions for essay that I've seen before include "Attempt, try" , "Make an effort to write one" , "Analytic or interpretive literary composition (5_" , "Composition, paper, article" , "Short formal piece of writing" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
