dashing

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'handsome' is the definition.
(dashing can mean charming or handsome)

'in hurry' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'in' is within the answer.
'hurry' could be 'dash' (dashing is a kind of hurrying) and 'dash' is present in the answer.
A single letter 'g' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).

'and' is the link.
