Inland, but it has a wild coast! (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ascot

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'inland but it' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'a wild coast' is the wordplay.
'a wild' indicates anagramming the letters.
'coast' with letters rearranged gives 'ASCOT'.

'has' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ascot that I've seen before include "Berkshire race course" , "Type of necktie" , "Where ladies wear new hats" , "Town with racecourse" , "Posh racecourse" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
