TOUSSAROK left the impression he'd strip fitter for the run back from a short break at Chester last time and he's shown his effectiveness at this track in the past, so he's worth a chance to defy a handy mark at the likely expense of the in-form Justcallmepete. Magical Merlin is another to consider.
