Raised objective ignoring a record (3)
I believe the answer is:
log
'record' is the definition.
(I know this)
'raised objective ignoring a' is the wordplay.
'raised' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (going up in a down clue).
'objective' becomes 'goal' (goal can mean an objective or purpose).
'ignoring' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'goal' with 'a' taken out is 'gol'.
'gol' back-to-front is 'LOG'.
(Other definitions for log that I've seen before include "Bulky piece of wood" , "Formal record" , "Record book; tree part" , "Record on ship" , "A ship's journal" .)
