Just the youngster to loaf around? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

foal

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

'just the youngster' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.

'loaf around?' is the wordplay.
'around?' is an anagram indicator (I've seen 'around' mean this).
'loaf' with letters rearranged gives 'FOAL'.

'to' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for foal that I've seen is " A young horse for Olaf".)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
