Crossword Genius

Fortune down to Dutch ancestry in part (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chance

'fortune' is the definition.
(synonyms)

'dutch ancestry in part' is the wordplay.
'in part' indicates a hidden word.
'CHANCE' is hidden within 'dutch ancestry'.

'down to' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for chance that I've seen before include "he unpredictable element of life" , "Risk doing (something)" , "Risk the opportunity" , "Run a risk" , "Opportunity; random effect" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
