SUNNYVILLA is the eldest in the line-up but has thrived for the switch to Nicky Richards and is taken to make light of a 4 lb rise for his stylish Uttoxeter success. Josh The Boss should prove suited by stepping back in trip and could emerge as the chief threat, atlhough the still-unexposed My Noble Lord can also have a say.
