Haggard jockey? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rider

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'haggard' is the first definition.
(novelist H Rider Haggard)

'jockey?' is the second definition.
(horse rider)

(Other definitions for rider that I've seen before include "One on a horse or cycle" , "one making journey" , "Jury's recommendation" , "Additional bit" , "supported by an Arab, perhaps" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
