Bringing back best trophy (3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pot

'trophy' is the definition.
(type of trophy)

'bringing back best' is the wordplay.
'bringing back' says the letters should be written in reverse (I've seen 'brought back' mean this).
'best' becomes 'top' (top can mean the very best).
'top' backwards is 'POT'.

(Other definitions for pot that I've seen before include "Somewhere to go" , "'A watched . . . never boils'" , "Container for 23" , "Ceramic container" , "Slangy cannabis" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
