Turn out to be point ahead (3,2)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

end up

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

'point ahead' is the wordplay.
'point' becomes 'end' (end is a kind of point**).
'ahead' becomes 'up' ('up' can be similar in meaning to 'ahead').
'end'+'up'='END UP'

'to be' is the link.

(Other definitions for end up that I've seen before include "finally arrive" , "inverted" , "Turn out" , "on your head, maybe" , "finish ahead" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
