Win My Wings was very impressive upped in trip last time at Ffos Las and Quick Wave and Sixty's Belle also have experience on their side. KISSESFORKATIE finished ahead of Eleanorofaquitaine at Huntingdon in December. Considering she may have needed the run, she ran a fine race in a Grade 2 bumper at Aintree last month and might be the one to beat if translating that form to hurdles.
