Prudent to have statue remade (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

astute

'prudent' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'statue remade' is the wordplay.
'remade' indicates an anagram.
'statue' is an anagram of 'ASTUTE'.

'to have' is the link.

(Other definitions for astute that I've seen before include "smart (with some self-interest?)" , "Shrewd, canny" , "Percipient" , "Discerning" , "Clever and perceptive" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
