Some group an elite controls here? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

panel

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'controls here?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I can't see how one could define the other.

'some group an elite' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates a hidden word (some of the parts of the word are used).
'PANEL' can be found hidden inside 'group an elite'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for panel that I've seen before include "Section of vehicle bodywork" , "Board for instruments" , "Group judging a contest" , "Rect. section; jury" , "Group of experts etc" .)
