Prepared for action; showing balance and composure (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

poised

(Other definitions for poised that I've seen before include "Composed and self-assured" , "Elegant, self assured" , "Composed and elegant" , "Balanced and composed" , "Self-assured or ready to strike" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
