Light downy substance (5)

I believe the answer is:

fluff

(Other definitions for fluff that I've seen before include "mistake made by some player in action?" , "Soft downy substance - bungle it" , "Trifling" , "Make a mistake" , "Mess up" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard and The Mirror.
