Somewhere in Liverpool area, where branch might be located (7)
I believe the answer is:
aintree
'be located' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'somewhere in liverpool area where branch' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite understand how this works, but
'in' is within the answer.
'area' could be 'a' (maths abbreviation) and 'a' is located in the answer.
'branch' could be 'tree' (tree branch is a kind of branch) and 'tree' is located in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'might' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for aintree that I've seen before include "place for horse racing" , "Here they run" , "Liverpool racecourse" , "Home of the Grand National" , "Grand National course" .)
