Amusing scheme (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wheeze

(Other definitions for wheeze that I've seen before include "Sound of difficult breathing" , "Clever scheme; sound asthmatic" , "Breathe roughly; clever trick" , "Breathe noisily; scheme" , "Chest whistle - spiffing plan" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Telegraph.
