Succeeding with trap, catching ten (4)
I believe the answer is:
next
'succeeding' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)
'trap catching ten' is the wordplay.
'trap' becomes 'net' (net is a kind of trap).
'catching' is an insertion indicator.
'ten' becomes 'x' (roman numeral).
'net' placed around 'x' is 'NEXT'.
'with' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for next that I've seen before include "Coming nearest in time or sequence" , "Immediately following in time or order" , "Retailer" , "Immediately afterwards" , "Closest" .)
