Crossword Genius

The pool may be splendid (3-4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

top-hole

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

'the pool may be' is the wordplay.
'may be' is an anagram indicator.
'the'+'pool'='thepool'
'thepool' anagrammed gives 'TOP-HOLE'.

(Other definitions for top-hole that I've seen before include "First-rate" , "Excellent" .)
