Hop about in attempt to get prize (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

trophy

'prize' is the definition.
(I know that trophy is a type of prize)

'hop about in attempt to' is the wordplay.
'about' indicates an anagram.
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'attempt to' becomes 'try' (I've seen this in other clues).
'hop' with letters rearranged gives 'oph'.
'oph' placed within 'try' is 'TROPHY'.

'get' is the link.

(Other definitions for trophy that I've seen before include "Victor's prize" , "Gas essential to life" , "Award for victory" , "Scalp, prize" , "Object symbolising success" .)
