Angry mule, for example (5)

I believe the answer is:

cross

I believe this is a double definition.

'angry' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'mule for example' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for cross that I've seen before include "Mad" , "Burden" , "SECOND HALF OF 9" , "Rood - intersect - annoyed" , "Pass from the wing to the penalty area" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
