Genuine hard work - to the lions anyhow (6,4)
I believe the answer is:
honest toil
'genuine hard work' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't tell whether it can be defined by this definition.
'to the lions anyhow' is the wordplay.
'anyhow' indicates an anagram.
'to'+'the'+'lions'='tothelions'
'tothelions' anagrammed gives 'HONEST TOIL'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
