Has the gumption (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

dares

'has the gumption' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for dares that I've seen before include "Makes bold, presumes to" , "Makes bold, challenges" , "''Who ..., wins'' (SAS motto)" , "Ventures" , "Challenges to do something dangerous" .)

I've seen this clue in The Wall Street Journal.
