ANJOMARBA has to be a leading fancy having routed the field at York, Fleeting Echo and Yer Woman are respected. Janeiro was no match for an easy winner at Kempton but had shown enough at Beverley to believe that he can win races and he rates highly. Yer Woman and Timelord were amongst those that were no match for a stablemate of Janeiro here on Sunday but this is more realistic. Strike Shot needs to leave his Chepstow run behind but Fleeting Echo comes into this on the back of a game success and shapes as though she'll relish the longer trip. It was easy ground when Anjomarba won by 8 lengths at York but her previous success came on fast ground and it would be dangerous to underestimate this speedy filly who appears to be progressing well. Lofthouse and The Shuffler have both shown enough in their three starts to make them of interest, particularly if the market vibes are positive, but Anjormarba is a known quantity and the percentage call.
