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

'prize scooped by boy' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'prize' could be 'pot' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'pot' is found in the answer.
'boy' could be 'son' ('son' can be a synonym of 'boy') and 'son' is present in the remaining letters.
No letters remain.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for spot on that I've seen before include "Precise" , "perfect" , "Completely accurate" , "Exactly right" , "Excellent" .)
