Cheers before I advance in final (4-3)
I believe the answer is:
tail-end
'final' is the definition.
(tail-end can mean at the end)
'cheers before i advance' is the wordplay.
'cheers before' becomes 'ta' (both can informally mean thank you. I am not sure about the 'before' bit.).
'advance' becomes 'lend' (I've seen this in another clue).
'ta'+'i'+'lend'='TAIL-END'
'in' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
