Increasing hazard for jockeys? (8,6)
I believe the answer is:
mounting danger
'jockeys?' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I cannot tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'increasing hazard' is the wordplay.
'increasing' becomes 'mounting' (mounting is a kind of increasing).
'hazard' becomes 'danger' (a hazard is something dangerous).
'mounting'+'danger'='MOUNTING DANGER'
'for' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
