SUNNYVILLA attracted plenty of support near the off prior to scoring on his seasonal reappearance/debut for this yard at Haydock and, on that evidence, he looks capable of defying a 7 lb rise in the weights. Having returned to form with a C&D success last month, Lively Citizen looks dangerous and chase debutant Rock On Jet, who did the job well in a maiden hurdle here on his latest start, is also accorded plenty of respect.
