ACTLIKEACOUNTESS was possibly a touch fortunate to win last time out having been left clear when making her handicap debut at Leicester but she stayed on well on that occasion and looks like a mare who will appreciate this step up to 3m. The selection can get the better of another unexposed runner in Margaret's Rose while Barra Hooley and Oscar Jane (third in this last year) can fight it out for the minor placings. 1. Actlikeacountess 2. Margaret's Rose 3. Barra Hooley
