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

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

'paul ceremonially wrapped up running' is the wordplay.
'ULCER' is hidden in amongst the letters.
However, I'm unsure how this is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ulcer that I've seen before include "Stomach or mouth sore" , "Sore point" , "Cruel kind of bodily sore" , "Inflammatory and often suppurating lesion on the skin" , "Cruel form of stomach trouble?" .)
