Big Storm Coming ended a long losing run when successful over 7f at Thirsk but carries 6lb extra. Stun Gun is upped 5lb for his recent win over track and trip while little separated Pacific Salt and Rebel State when they filled the places at Kempton last time. Celtic Artisan needs further but SOBER UP won over 7f here back in May and ran well for third on her latest outing, despite an 11lb hike in the weights. She gets another chance with the returning Thermal Column perhaps best of the rest.
