Participants in fast rallies emanating from stars (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

astral

'emanating from stars' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'participants in fast rallies' is the wordplay.
'participants in' indicates a hidden word.
'ASTRAL' is hidden within 'fast rallies'.

(Other definitions for astral that I've seen before include "Pertaining to the stars" , "Characteristic of stars" , "Like the stars" , "Altars (anag)" , "Starry sort of altars." .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
