COUNTERACT looked a different horse to the one who struggled over hurdles when making a successful start in this sphere at Wincanton. He's gone up 10 lb for that, but there should be more to come and he is taken to end the winning run of Away For Slates, who is bidding for the hat-trick following a brace of victories at Fontwell. Avoir de Soins is also considered.
