She didn't run badly in fourth in a mares' maiden hurdle over a similar trip at Ballinrobe, and the third home was good enough to win at Wexford on Saturday. A victory in a staying handicap chase at Kilbeggan could reinvigorate Crimson Chief as he reverts back to the smaller obstacles. Sweet Will could be freshened up after being off since June. He won a handicap chase and a handicap hurdle in March and April respectively. He wasn't at his best when last seen at Down Royal, but could bounce back.
