Inspiration displayed by punter at Oaks (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

erato

'inspiration' is the definition.
(one of the muses in Greek mythology)

'displayed by punter at oaks' is the wordplay.
'displayed by' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'ERATO' is hidden in the letters of 'punter at oaks'.

(Other definitions for erato that I've seen before include "Inspiring female" , "Poetic Muse ; eighteen (anag.)" , "verses she inspired" , "Arts patron" , "daughter of Zeus" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
