Time to raise the net (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ten

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

'raise the net' is the wordplay.
'raise' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'net' back-to-front is 'TEN'.

'to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for ten that I've seen before include "How many" , "X-WORD" , "No of sides of a decagon" , "Five times two" , "honour" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
