Preliminary sketch (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

draft

'preliminary sketch' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for draft that I've seen before include "Rough sketch" , "Early version of text" , "Outline or sketch" , "conscript" , "Rough version" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian, The Telegraph, the Evening Standard, the Universal and The Times.
