Woo eccentric queen, maybe (5,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

court card

'queen maybe' is the definition.
(I know that queen is a type of court card)

'woo eccentric' is the wordplay.
'woo' becomes 'court' (synonyms).
'eccentric' becomes 'card' (card can mean an eccentric person).
'court'+'card'='COURT-CARD'

(Other definitions for court card that I've seen before include "king, perhaps" , "King, queen or knave, in pack" , "King, queen or jack" , "King or queen, say" , "Jack or a queen, for instance" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
