Predicament about marine predator in holiday resort (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

majorca

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

'predicament about marine predator' is the wordplay.
'predicament' becomes 'jam' (jam can mean a tricky situation).
'about' says the letters should be written backwards.
'marine predator' becomes 'orca' (I've seen this in another clue).
'jam' reversed gives 'maj'.
'maj'+'orca'='MAJORCA'

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for majorca that I've seen before include "holiday resort" , "Mediterranean island" , "Holiday island" , "Tourist destination" , "Main Balearic island" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
