2lb below his last winning mark and drops to this level for the first time since last November, but not sure he is running well enough to take advantage; has gone well on Polytrack including a win here (1m), but Tapeta may suit him better.

Cheekpieces last three starts and gelded before scoring at Lingfield (1m2f, AW) last December, which was his second front-running win last term and much improved form; not seen again until five weeks ago when he was favourite in a warm race at Southwell (1m3f, AW) and bang there 2f out but finished 9th of 12; it's possible he needed that run but this is just his second race on turf, having tailed off on soft on debut.

Highly tried after winning Lingfield maiden (AW) in April last year and he bounced back from a swing at the Derby when going close at Thirsk (also 1m4f, good) in July; that form would make him a handicap snip but it's been a real struggle since and blinkers are now reached for; only considered if the market warms to him.
