Roll with gutted fish (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wheel

'roll' is the definition.
(I know that roll can be written as wheel)

'with gutted fish' is the wordplay.
'gutted' means to remove the middle letters (to gut something is to remove its insides).
'fish' becomes 'eel' (eel is a type of fish).
'with' with its middle removed is 'wh'.
'wh'+'eel'='WHEEL'

(Other definitions for wheel that I've seen before include "Castor" , "Fly in a wide circle" , "Turn round quickly" , "Circular frame with spokes" , "Turn in a wide curve" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
