Draw at the right level? (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tier

'level?' is the definition.
(I know that level can be written as tier)

'draw at the right' is the wordplay.
'draw' becomes 'tie' (synonyms).
'at' says to put letters next to each other.
'the right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'tie'+'r'='TIER'

(Other definitions for tier that I've seen before include "Rank, level" , "Layer, rank" , "Plague" , "One of two or more rows" , "Rite for a rank" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
