Good line to develop (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

grow

'develop' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'good line' is the wordplay.
'good' becomes 'g' (abbreviation).
'line' becomes 'row' (row is a kind of line**).
'g'+'row'='GROW'

'to' is the link.

(Other definitions for grow that I've seen before include "Develop; increase" , "Mature" , "Burgeon" , "Expand" , "Get bigger" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
