Elegant runner seen in Blenheim Palace (6)
I believe the answer is:
impala
'elegant runner' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both animals as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?
'in blenheim palace' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'IMPALA' is hidden within 'blenheim palace'.
'seen' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for impala that I've seen before include "Big game" , "game animal" , "horny creature" , "Leaping antelope" , "One regularly browsing" .)
