Champagnesocialist was the very easy winner of a Downpatrick bumper in September but has been beaten at short odds in all three starts over hurdles and showed signs of temperament when sent to Ayr in January. Her penalty is cancelled out by her rider‘s claim but DESERT HEATHER may have her measure. She completed a hat-trick between the flags at the back-end of last year and only just failed to get up at Limerick last month when Apples In Winter found 3m beyond her. Will You Win has now had 25 starts without winning but the four-year-old Kilbarry Saint is one to keep an eye on in the market with her allowance.
