Sadly date Republican without a chance (13)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

unpredictable

'chance' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'sadly date republican without a' is the wordplay.
'sadly' is an anagram indicator.
'without' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'date'+'republican'='daterepublican'
'daterepublican' with 'a' removed is 'dterepublican'.
'dterepublican' is an anagram of 'UNPREDICTABLE'.

(Other definitions for unpredictable that I've seen before include "erratic" , "Changeable" , "Capricious" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
