Stimulate to go higher! (3,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pep up

'stimulate' is the definition.
(I know that pep up is a type of animate)

'go higher' is the wordplay.
'go' becomes 'pep' (I've seen this before).
'higher' becomes 'up'.
'pep'+'up'='PEP UP'

'to' is the link.

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
