Kaasirr went close at Kempton last year and is fitted with a visor on his reappearance. He’s preferred to Nottingham runner-up Rollajam and Kinrarra of those returning to action but ERMIN STREET has the more recent form. Charlie Hills’ colt wasn’t beaten far in fourth over track and trip last month and that looks stronger form than Twilight Steel’s recent debut effort at Kempton.
