Go down to the right to distract (6)
I believe the answer is:
divert
'to distract' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'go down to the right' is the wordplay.
'go down' becomes 'dive' (diving is a kind of going down).
'to the right' becomes 'rt' (abbreviation as in Rt Hon- the Right Honourable).
'dive'+'rt'='DIVERT'
(Other definitions for divert that I've seen before include "offer entertainment" , "Amuse or cause to change direction" , "Turn something from its normal course" , "Distract" , "Delight" .)
