Sly chap I suspect gets examination (8)
I believe the answer is:
physical
'examination' is the definition.
(kind of examination)
'sly chap i suspect' is the wordplay.
'suspect' is an anagram indicator (a suspicious or unusual spelling).
'sly'+'chap'+'i'='slychapi'
'slychapi' with letters rearranged gives 'PHYSICAL'.
'gets' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for physical that I've seen before include "Bodily - material" , "Medical fitness examination" , "Achy lips (anag)" , "Involving bodily contact" , "Check-up" .)
