Trophy - the Spanish knife (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

scalpel

'knife' is the definition.
(I know that scalpel is a type of surgical knife)

'trophy the spanish' is the wordplay.
'trophy' becomes 'scalp' (I've seen this before).
'the spanish' becomes 'el' ('the' in Spanish).
'scalp'+'el'='SCALPEL'

(Other definitions for scalpel that I've seen before include "Surgical instrument" , "A surgeon's knife 97)" , "Sharp blade" , "Surgeon's blade" , "Surgical blade" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
