In check (2,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

at bay

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

This is all the clue.

(Other definitions for at bay that I've seen before include "Forced to turn and face the attackers" , "Cornered, trapped" .)

I've seen this clue in the Universal and The New York Times.
