Formscan - JOSH THE BOSS lost nothing in defeat in a Warwick match and was then gifted a walkover at Newbury a couple of days later. He was a useful hurdler who should make his mark in this sphere and remains on an attractive rating. Southoftheborder and Hecouldbetheone have the edge in chasing experience but the biggest threat may emerge in the shape of fencing newcomer Wolf Moon, who took well to the jumping game last term and didn't give his true running in a valuable event at Sandown.
