Crossword Genius

Looked sullen when let down (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

lowered

I believe this is a double definition.

'looked sullen' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)

'let down' is the second definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'when' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for lowered that I've seen before include "Let down gently" , "Moved downwards" , "Brought down" , "Moved something down" , "looked sullen" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
