Victory almost a breeze (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

win

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

'almost a breeze' is the wordplay.
'almost' means to remove the last letter (most of the word but not all of it).
'a breeze' becomes 'wind' (I've seen this before).
'wind' with its last letter taken away is 'WIN'.

(Other definitions for win that I've seen before include "Come first" , "Finish in first place" , "Trumph" , "Achieve victory" , "Be successful" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
