Rally where Rolls Royce rounds eastern bight (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

recover

'rally' is the definition.
(rally can mean to recover from illness)

'rolls royce rounds eastern bight' is the wordplay.
'rolls royce' becomes 'rr' (short for Rolls Royce).
'rounds' is an insertion indicator.
'eastern' becomes 'e'.
'bight' becomes 'cove' (I've seen this in another clue).
'e'+'cove'='ecove'
'rr' placed around 'ecove' is 'RECOVER'.

'where' is the link.

(Other definitions for recover that I've seen before include "Rally, get better" , "comeback" , "Find" , "Recuperate" , "Bring back" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
