I think you need to tick the Axial passes option.

If you’re wanting Horizontal to cut down the sloped faces it’s not going to happen. Horizontal will only cut flat horizontal faces. For that sloping face I would recommend Scallop, Parallel, Contour, or a combination of Parallel and Contour.

yes thanks Mark it was th axial options i hadn't seen.

 

Jeff, you're right, just figured this out as well, i wanted to use this as a roughing operation which doesn't work in this case.
