Kasbah was beaten a short-head in a better class handicap over the course and distance last month but didn't build on that at Sandown. FIELD OF VISION could be the value here, though couldn't quite get past Major Valentine over 6f at Chepstow having won there earlier so there's very little between them at the revised weights. The veteran Kinglami is held by both on Chepstow form but Look Surprised hasn't run badly in better-class handicaps after completing a double in mid-summer. Andalusite won a Class 6 handicap at Brighton and wasn't disgraced on a return visit when two grades higher.
