Hampshire river flow trial (4,3)
I believe the answer is:
test run
'trial' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'hampshire river flow' is the wordplay.
'hampshire river' becomes 'test' (River Test).
'flow' becomes 'run' (run is a kind of flow).
'test'+'run'='TEST-RUN'
(Another definition for test run that I've seen is " Trial performance".)
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
