western roll

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

'technique used to clear a bar' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'cowboy film part we hear' is the wordplay.
'cowboy film' becomes 'western' (I've seen this before).
'part' becomes 'role' (synonyms).
'we hear' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'role' is a homophone of 'roll'.
'western'+'roll'='WESTERN ROLL'

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for western roll that I've seen before include "Method used to clear a bar" , "those facing the high jump may use" , "Jumping style" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
