A difficult getting out stakes and Another Storm is our selection to minimum stakes with Fuel Cell and Phone In the alternatives. Another Storm won well at Southwell. Granted it was a weak race but she did it with a fair degree of authority and a 6lb rise does not appear to be overegging the pudding. Fuel Cell has been kept busy over the summer and the booking of the in-form Campbell Gillies really takes the eye. Phone In is ultra-consistent. A day of sunshine at the track would very much play in his favour. Salinas is far from straight forward and his record of seconds show just how frustrating he is. Allez Frank has had a recent pipe opener on the flat. Prince Among Men is not as he once was but it would be folly to ignore any intrerest in the betting ring. The once useful Circassian looks a light of his former self these days. A step up in trip saw Present finally break her maiden and an additional rise is attempted in order to bring her a shot at handicap glory. Art Of Being continues to attract a following albeit for the wrong reasons. Another Storm is recommended with minimal confidence.
