In depth
Verdict
Lightning Attack won over hurdles in February so won’t fail through lack of fitness but all-weather winner WADACRE GOGO is having a first run on Turf in this country and may be better treated. Buford won off a higher mark at Doncaster in August on fast going and Graces Quest also has a chance on her third at Catterick given she won over track and trip last year. Three Castles is the other course winner in the line-up.
