Legendary Vampire and advancing minions

Legendary Vampire
Unique master.
Put this card on a vampire with a capacity above 6 who was moved into your ready region during your last influence phase. This vampire gets +2 bleed and an additional 2 votes. Any vampire may call a referendum to burn this card as a +1 stealth political action.
Cost: 2 pool.

Question (searched for but not found): can you play this card when you combine a minion with a capacity of 6+? Advancing happens during the influence phase (unless playing a card like Epiphany ), but technically the vampire was there before it was combined.

Just thinking: finally get LV into hand, and have the ability to advance a base minion in play.

Thanks in advance,

Chris.

Correct.

Thanks, your googling powers are obviously stronger than mine
