Practical characters at borders of Hungary? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

handy

'practical' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

I can't explain the remainder of the clue.

(Other definitions for handy that I've seen before include "Local - nearby" , "Dexterous" , "Close by" , "Convenient summary" , "quite useful" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
