HORATIO (1) went forward and proved too strong last time out, scoring by 1. 75 lengths over 6½f at this track. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot salute. COUNTERACT (3) settled well back last time out before finishing third over 6½f at this track. Record at this journey is impressive with five wins and four placings from 13 runs and should be in the finish. PAY MY WAY (5) scored at his most recent appearance, getting home by 6 lengths over 1m1/2f at this track. That continued the solid form this campaign, with three wins and three minor placings from eight starts. Solid top-three chance. ROCKCLIFFE (2) fought on for third last start over 6½f at this track, beaten 2. 75 lengths to add to some fine recent form. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways.
