Runner has love for party (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

beano

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

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

'runner has love' is the wordplay.
'runner has' becomes 'bean' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'love' becomes 'o' (love means zero in tennis).
'bean'+'o'='BEANO'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for beano that I've seen before include "A bone for a feast" , "Informal party" , "Comic - party" , "Comic and informal get-together" , "rowdy festivity" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
