SWEET CHEEKS looks the call here, ahead of King of Cassis and Lighthouse Keeper. Richard Fahey's filly won a York seller on debut, and that was a better race than this. The fact she's started her career in these sort of races may suggest she's no world-beater, but at least she has the form in the locker, The high draw would be a negative though. King of Cassis was further down the field behind her, and doesn't have the weight advantage today he did then, but first time cheekpieces may bring about sufficient improvement. Lighthouse Keeper improved from debut to be runner-up second time out, and is Amy Weaver's only runner on the card. It seems a long way to come from newmarket for such a lowly prize, unless there are realistic hopes, and he's got the plum draw in stall one. Sweet Cheeks has already shown her ability though, and we're happy to side with her again.
