Somehow goes right in to see the giants

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ogres

'the giants' is the definition.
(ogre is a kind of giant)

'somehow goes right in' is the wordplay.
'somehow' indicates an anagram.
'right' becomes 'r' (common abbreviation).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'goes' is an anagram of 'oges'.
'oges' going around 'r' is 'OGRES'.

'to see' is the link.

(Other definitions for ogres that I've seen before include "She-giant of fairy tale" , "Bugbears" , "Giant types" , "'Monsters, fiends (5)'" , "Beasts" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
