SIXMILEBRIDGE can boast the more persuasive profile over hurdles and while Josh The Boss made a sound start over fences on Tuesday, the Fergal O'Brien inmate gets the nod, if there's even a contest at all.

Verdict
6-y-o who was above average in bumpers and quick to reach a useful level over hurdles last term, his hat-trick of novice victories culminating in Grade 2 success at Cheltenham. On his toes when down the field in Grade 1 Turners at the Festival but no doubting he remains an exciting chase prospect.

Verdict
Form tailed off after winning a major Chepstow handicap hurdle last autumn and he failed to deliver when well-backed to stage a repeat in the same race last month (first run following a wind op). Chasing type on looks and finished second at Warwick on Tuesday.
