Good record for the upper classes (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gentry

'upper classes' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'good record' is the wordplay.
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'record' becomes 'entry' (eg entry in a list).
'g'+'entry'='GENTRY'

'for the' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for gentry that I've seen before include "who are noble" , "Class of society" , "Nobs" , "People of a social position just below the nobility" , "People of social rank just below nobility" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
