Leeds etc may be chosen (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

selected

'chosen' is the definition.
('select' can be a synonym of 'choose')

'leeds etc may be' is the wordplay.
'may be' is an anagram indicator.
'leeds'+'etc'='leedsetc'
'leedsetc' is an anagram of 'SELECTED'.

(Other definitions for selected that I've seen before include "Carefully chosen" , "Chose, opted for" , "Chosen or picked" , "Chose, picked" .)
