Take care of lads from Midlands (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

mind

'take care' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'lads from midlands' is the wordplay.
'from' is a deletion indicator.
'midlands' with 'lads' taken out is 'MIND'.

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for mind that I've seen before include "Intelligence" , "Watch - intellect" , "Seat of the faculty of reason" , "Intellect; object to" , "Brain" .)

I've seen this clue in the Irish Times.
