Epic Warrior just got worn down by Mont Choisy on his hurdling debut at Worcester 10 days ago but doesn't look an easy ride and cheekpieces are added here in addition to his normal headgear. PRESENTING STREAK should stay this trip having already been placed in a point-to-point. He'd have gone close over 2m4f at Market Rasen last time had he kept a straight line and may be worth another chance. Primo Capitano should also be in the firing-line while Jimmy Shan is better than he showed in his first two starts for Tim Vaughan but Little Windmill appears to be going backwards.
