Some fair handicappers are brought together here and many hold chances on the best of their form. However, Darryll Holland got on very well with Anyhow the last time they were paired-off and, as such, the partnership are favoured to come good again here. The in-form trio of Bramantino, Marmaduke and Welsh Wind head a long list of dangers and are all respected in their claims - while Aoninch would be more confidently appraised if he had arrived here with the benefit of a recent outing. So, with fitness on her side, Anyhow is just preferred this afternoon. The daughter of Distant Relative knows her way around this course and distance very well and has already gained five previous victories at her favourite track. The fact that she will benefit from the strength of her rider in the saddle is an added bonus today and it will be no surprise to see Anyhow expand on her strike-rate at Lingfield after this.
