Specialist, ace (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

expert

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'specialist' is the first definition.
(a specialist is an expert in a field)

'ace' is the second definition.
(both can mean a master of something)

(Other definitions for expert that I've seen before include "One practised" , "Having specialised knowledge" , "At the right moment" , "One has specialist knowledge or ability" , "Authority" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
