It's difficult to ask (or answer) without giving away too much, but could anyone help on 1ac
Moo from lower player in duet? (7)

I have an answer that corresponds to a definition from the second part of the clue, but I can't see what the first part contributes. Any hints?

the answer you've almost typed in your 'second' paragraph

Hi oak
Yes, that's the answer I have - what what has the "moo" to do with it?

Moo is mo + o which equals sec+ o - at least they were my workings!

Mo(ment) = second+ o. Bit vague I know, and of course a lower is a cow by the sound of it.

Thanks elfie - very clever!

Thanks again to oak too.
