Cybalko’s chase record away from Sedgefield is 0-11 but a switch to fences should help O'Hanrahan Bridge and Anywayyoulookatit would appear to have stronger claims than at Carlisle, where he is also entered. JACK VALENTINE tended to jump left on his chasing bow at Leicester but still won as he liked. He should be better suited going this way around and is hard to oppose, despite a 6lb rise.
