It's a surprise that KASBAH hasn't won by now but he's been campaigned at a much higher level and hasn't been beaten far behind the likes of Kool Kompany, Dick Whittington and Ainippe. He's been showing good pace over 6f against those rivals so the drop in trip shouldn't be a problem and he can finally get off the mark. Well Done Me has been going quite well in similar grade to this and her allowance should see her in the frame while Ger Lyons' newcomer Ningxai, a half-brother to four winners, is one to keep an eye on.
