Pianissimo failed to land the odds at Chelmsford in December but ran green and the switch to Turf should help the Gosden colt as he tries to recoup losses. Majestic Dawn has twice finished second over 1m on Polytrack but this longer trip may stretch his stamina. SPACE WALK (NAP) is a full brother to smart stayer Call To Mind and this wouldn’t be the toughest of starts for William Haggas’ Galileo colt so he gets the nod. Doune Castle may be best of the rest ahead of the Mick Channon pair Storting and Severance.
