Verdict
None of these inspire much confidence but CHEEKTOCHEEK is best in at the weights and gets the nod. Well beaten last time, the Yarmouth winner may return to form in first-time headgear and has gone close at this track before. Mick Dundee is creeping closer and has more scope for improvement than Run It Twice, a C&D winner back in August who has struggled in handicaps off a higher mark since.
