Sort of play that sounds rather a risk (6)
I believe the answer is:
gambol
'sort of play' is the definition.
I can't explain the remainder of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for gambol that I've seen before include "Frolic, caper" , "Caper and cavort (6)" , "Prance; sounds like bet" , "Wager a frisk, by the sound of it" , "jump for joy" .)
