Quick update: I RTFM'd the Ultimaker CPE page and glue on the bed is recommended.
I tried one more print with just glue, and the print lifted from the bed halfway through, so I aborted.
It's re-printing now with glue and Adhesion ticked on in Cura, and it looks good!
Nervous to add PVA into the mix; that's up next with the cog model from the toothpaste squeezer..

I tried one more print with the same materials but a completely different model.
You can see a video of it just after starting here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/dr5s8e1i9r4czxv/bad print.MOV?dl=0
Before that, while calibrating, it was continually extruding small amounts of white CPE, which I wiped off a couple of times in a bid to help it progress.
I then aborted the print. Please see two more images attached: [1] the bed showing the failed start and [2] the AA core showing quite a lot of material adhered to the print head.
