Symphonica went to Perth with a favourite's chance last month but was firmly put in her place by Gulf President and this looks tougher. She finished fourth behind Killogan Lass on her previous start at Wexford and the winner is in good enough form to make her presence felt. Credit Box was runner-up in that latter race and is a stone better off so must have a reasonable chance of reversing the form. BENEFIT OF PORTER makes her handicap debut and the official will have had a difficult job rating her after a demolition job in a Downpatrick maiden. She may well be underestimated and can go on to better things while Fine Call faced a tough task at Galway after beating a huge field at Cork and is capable of better than she showed that day. More Claret ran better than her finishing position suggested here on Friday.
