Vital our slips seek a win more than others? (8)

I believe the answer is:

outrival

'seek a win more than others?' is the definition.

'vital our slips' is the wordplay.
'slips' is an anagram indicator.
'vital'+'our'='vitalour'
'vitalour' with letters rearranged gives 'OUTRIVAL'.

(Other definitions for outrival that I've seen before include "More than match" , "Surpass in competition" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
