Disadvantages (9)

Ross

I think it could be either:

drawbacks

handicaps

'disadvantages' is the definition.
(handicap is a kind of disadvantage)

This is the entire clue.

(Other definitions for handicaps that I've seen before include "Advantages given to competitors to equalize chances of winning" , "Burdens imposed to level odds" , "Disadvantages imposed on some competitors to equalise chances" , "Hampers" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
