WHOWONTHETOSS might have just needed the run on his Leopardstown return over Christmas and is worth another chance to confirm the promise of his Fairyhouse second at this time last year. Innovated is another who should come on for his reappearance and is feared most ahead of the Gordon Elliott-trained Run For Pat.
