Rush to get an advanced place (6)
I believe the answer is:
bolton
'an advanced place' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'rush to' is the wordplay.
'rush' becomes 'bolt' (bolt is a kind of rush).
'to' becomes 'on' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'bolt'+'on'='BOLTON'
'get' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for bolton that I've seen before include "Additional" , "Non-world-beaters (anag)" , "Lancashire town" , "-- Wanderers, football team" , "Northern town" .)
