Raid on raid perhaps (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inroad

'raid' is the definition.
(inroad can mean a raid or attack)

'on raid perhaps' is the wordplay.
'perhaps' is an anagram indicator.
'on'+'raid'='onraid'
'onraid' with letters rearranged gives 'INROAD'.

(Other definitions for inroad that I've seen before include "Sudden attack made into a country" , "Foray" , "Incursion, raid" , "One's intrusive" , "Offensive" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
