Predict role left for recasting (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

foretell

'predict' is the definition.
('foretell' can be a synonym of 'predict')

'role left for recasting' is the wordplay.
'for recasting' indicates anagramming the letters (I've seen this in other clues).
'role'+'left'='roleleft'
'roleleft' is an anagram of 'FORETELL'.

(Other definitions for foretell that I've seen before include "'Predict, prophesy (8)'" , "Divine" , "Herald" , "supporting English archer" , "Foreshadow or presage" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
