Unlucky, pal, she's dodgy (7)
I believe the answer is:
hapless
'unlucky' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'pal she's dodgy' is the wordplay.
'dodgy' indicates anagramming the letters.
'pal'+'shes'='palshes'
'palshes' is an anagram of 'HAPLESS'.
(Other definitions for hapless that I've seen before include "He slaps (anag) - unlucky" , "Unfortunate, wretched" , "Ill-fated" , "Pathetic" , "Unlucky, unfortunate" .)
