Sheep in more disarray (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

merino

'sheep' is the definition.
(breed of sheep)

'in more disarray' is the wordplay.
'disarray' indicates anagramming the letters.
'in'+'more'='inmore'
'inmore' with letters rearranged gives 'MERINO'.

(Other definitions for merino that I've seen before include "Sheep from Spain with a heavy quality fleece" , "Fine woollen yarn" , "Can this sheep be found in Rome?" , "Sheep bred for its long, fine wool" , "Type of sheep" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
