Went through red here as tipsy (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rehearsed

'went through' is the definition.

'red here as tipsy' is the wordplay.
'tipsy' indicates anagramming the letters.
'red'+'here'+'as'='redhereas'
'redhereas' with letters rearranged gives 'REHEARSED'.

(Other definitions for rehearsed that I've seen before include "Practised for public performance" , "Practiced (a play)" , "Front-rear axle distance" , "went over" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
