Richard Fahey sends Elmfield Giant for this though the son of Giant's Causeway didn't beat much at Newcastle and will need to have made progress. Endless Expanse looked a promising type when landing her maiden at Dundalk but was undoubtedly disappointing when fancied for a fillies' handicap at Gowran subsequently. RARE SYMPHONY had shown only a little ability before making all and storming clear of her rivals in a Naas maiden three weeks ago. She appreciated that strong test and will make a bold bid to repeat the process here. The Lock Master battled to a narrow victory at Dundalk before finding Ghetto Gospel too strong at Tipperary but that was no disgrace and another big effort is expected. The rapidly improving Yes Missus is another to note in a tight little handicap.
