Expresses what guttersnipe is concealing (6)

I believe the answer is:

utters

'expresses' is the definition.
('utter' can be a synonym of 'express')

'what guttersnipe is concealing' is the wordplay.
'is concealing' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'UTTERS' can be found hidden inside 'what guttersnipe'.

(Other definitions for utters that I've seen before include "States, articulate" , "Expresses audibly" , "Publishes" , "Speaks, articulates" , "Articulates, expresses" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
