Verdict
A very competitive opener with Nothin To Ask sure to have learned plenty from his fourth here in October when ahead of Here Comes Henry. Sandown fourth Blairgowrie is another likely improver but the Skeltons’ mare GET A TONIC won a shade cosily at Leicester and may be good enough to defy her penalty. Tigerbythetail was rallying when not beaten far behind Saturday’s winner Hillcrest at Aintree with Coronado Joe and the returning Dan's Chosen also worth a second look.
