CITY SELECTIONS Pianissimo has won twice from six starts at this venue, but his last success came in 2019 in a better race off a mark 7lb higher than he shoulders here. He may be able to get involved in the finish along with Seagulls Nest, who represents a stable in form and may improve for the application of a visor following a disappointing seventh at Wolverhampton. ATALANTA BREEZE ran in snatches over two miles when third here last month, but they have added blinkers for the first time now and if they help him focus he may be the one to beat.
