Cybalko finally won a race over a longer trip here 12 days ago but doesn’t appeal as the type to defy a 7lb rise. GOLD FIELDS bolted up at Fakenham on just his third start over fences and should shrug off a penalty with a similar effort here as Arizona Glory will need to jump better than when fourth at Stratford, though was making his chasing bow that day. Bering Upsun won off a 3lb higher mark at Kelso last season but has questions to answer after a couple of dismal efforts this autumn.
