Inferior bird captured by chance (3-4)

'inferior' is the definition.
(low-rent means inferior or poor quality)

'bird captured by chance' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'bird' could be 'wren' (wren is a kind of bird) and 'wren' is present in the answer.
'chance' could be 'lot' (as in drawing by lot) and 'lot' is located in the remaining letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
