Band score rewritten for The Fugitive? (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

absconder

'the fugitive' is the definition.
(absconder is a kind of fugitive)

'band score rewritten' is the wordplay.
'rewritten' indicates anagramming the letters.
'band'+'score'='bandscore'
'bandscore' with letters rearranged gives 'ABSCONDER'.

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for absconder that I've seen before include "runner" , "Arrest evader" , "Runaway" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
