The chances of a view (8)
I believe the answer is:
prospect
I believe this is a double definition.
'the chances' is the first definition.
(I have seen 'The chances' mean 'prospect' so perhaps 'chances' could also mean 'prospect')
'a view' is the second definition.
('prospect' can be a synonym of 'view')
'of' is the link.
(Other definitions for prospect that I've seen before include "Survey the outlook" , "Possibility; wide view" , "a possible source of riches" , "Likelihood of a future event occurring" , "'Outlook, vista (8)'" .)
