Polish seaside resort mentioned (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

brighten

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

'seaside resort mentioned' is the wordplay.
'seaside resort' becomes 'Brighton'.
'mentioned' shows a homophone (sound like).
'brighton' is a homophone of 'BRIGHTEN'.

(Other definitions for brighten that I've seen before include "Liven up" , "Illuminate, cheer up" , "Polish" , "Berthing (anag.)" , "Cheer up; clear up" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
