        Verdict

        With Kieren Fallon booked to ride, Anyhow catches the eye here ahead of Most-Saucy, Traveller's Tale and Aoninch. The selection remains competitive from his current mark, having won from just a one-pound lower mark at Bath two runs ago. He has also won at this track and has the champ booked to ride so his chance is there for all to see. Saxe Coburg has given the appearance of being held from his current mark based on his last couple of runs, but Most-Saucy is well weighted judged on her Epsom 12-furlong win of last summer. Have her on your shortlist, particularly given that she seems to like this time of year. Traveller's Tale is now rated just one-pound higher than for his Epsom win of two years ago, so has to be given a squeak, while Aoninch is now not too far away from a winning mark. The rest are hard to build a compelling case for so Anyhow should give you a very good run for your money.
