STAR PRESENTER is no stranger to carrying big weight and ran out a comfortable winner last time at Fontwell. That should have given his confidence a boost and he can defy a 7lb higher mark ahead of Martin Cash, who may need to drop another few pounds before getting his head back in front. June French races from 4lb out of the handicap but has run well in similar circumstances before and can make the frame again ahead of last week's Stratford third Unknown Legend.
