'scowl in loud cockney bull' is the definition.
'frown' can be an answer for 'scowl' (synonyms). I'm unsure of the 'in loud cockney bull' bit.

'cow before final confrontation' is the wordplay.
'cow before' becomes 'frow' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
