Go to the front (7)
I believe the answer is:
precede
This clue is a double definition.
'go' is the first definition.
(preceding is a kind of going)
'the front' is the second definition.
(thesaurus)
'to' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for precede that I've seen before include "Occur before" , "Lead the way" , "Antedate" , "Walk in front of" , "Pave the way" .)
