Go first; element (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lead

I believe this clue is a double definition.

'go first' is the first definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'element' is the second definition.
(I know that lead is a superconducting element)

(Other definitions for lead that I've seen before include "Guide the heavy metal" , "Be ahead of - guide" , "Guide, direct" , "Actor playing the principal role" , "Church windows include this" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
