Oddly after wins, King vulnerable (2,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

at risk

'vulnerable' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'oddly after wins king' is the wordplay.
'oddly' means one should take alternating letters.
'king' becomes 'k'.
'after'+'wins'='afterwins'
The alternate letters of 'afterwins' are 'atris'.
'atris'+'k'='AT RISK'

(Other definitions for at risk that I've seen before include "Endangered" , "Exposed to danger" , "Vulnerable" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
