More competent (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

abler

'more competent' is the definition.
('able' can be similar in meaning to 'competent')

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for abler that I've seen before include "Showing more skill" , "More skilled" , "stronger" , "More gifted or competent - maybe a seaman?" , "More accomplished" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald and the Evening Standard.
