Overlooked doing RE revision (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ignored

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

'doing re revision' is the wordplay.
'revision' indicates anagramming the letters.
'doing'+'re'='doingre'
'doingre' anagrammed gives 'IGNORED'.

(Other definitions for ignored that I've seen before include "Cut" , "Failed to notice" , "Disregarded intentionally; failed to consider" , "Passed over" , "Paid no attention to" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
