Praying to find wild child with talent (6,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

infant prodigy

'child with talent' is the definition.
(a prodigy is a talented child)

'praying to find wild' is the wordplay.
'wild' indicates an anagram.
'praying'+'to'+'find'='prayingtofind'
'prayingtofind' is an anagram of 'INFANT PRODIGY'.

(Other definitions for infant prodigy that I've seen before include "Mozart?" , "Young genius" , "junior mastermind" , "Wonder child" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
