ADVANTAGE got off the mark with a bit to spare on just his second start in handicaps over C&D 9 days ago and, with the prospect of more to come from David O'Meara's 3-y-o, he could well be the way to go under a penalty. Weloof was gambled on and ran well when second here latest and he's feared, particularly if the market speaks in his favour again. Kodebreaker and Ice Shadow complete the shortlist.
