React to provocation (4,2,3,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rise to the bait

<span class="explanation-format__ClueExplanation">'<span class="explanation-format__original">react to provocation</span>' is the definition.<br/ ><span class="explanation-format__explanation">(I've seen this before)</span><br/ ><br/ >This is the entire clue.<br/ ></span>

(Other definitions for rise to the bait that I've seen before include "respond to provocation" , "Do what someone wants one to do" , "Respond as hoped for to hints etc" , "Do what someone else suggests" , "Fish may" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
