Settle semifinal on easy win – belting! (4,3)
I believe the answer is:
iron out
'settle' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'semifinal on easy win belting' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'on' is found in the answer.
'easy win' could be 'rout' (I've seen this in another clue) and 'rout' is found in the leftover letters.
A single letter 'i' remains which might be clued in a way I don't see.
This explanation may well be incorrect...
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for iron out that I've seen before include "Clear up (problems)" , "Remove (a difficulty)" , "Resolve" , "Flatten" , "ready for an evening exercise?" .)
