Age: 6|  Weight: 11-4| J: Benjamin Poste| T: A Wintle
Encouraging second in Tipperary bumper for Paul Nolan in June, then filled same spot on debut for this stable over at Huntingdon 40 days ago. Big player.

Phoenix Reach gelding. Brother to 3 winners, including fairly useful hurdler Arctic Reach and fair hurdler Gin And Tonic. Dam showed little on Flat.
|
Timeform
Hit the frame in Irish points and made pleasing start under Rules when runner-up at Wincanton. Improvement on the cards, so boasts excellent claims.
|
Timeform
Showed ability amidst greenness when 6¾ lengths fourth of 12 to Flemenstide in bumper at Exeter (16.8f, soft, 12/1) on NH debut 21 days ago. One to consider.

Forecasts

No Word Of A Lie (3/1), Nothin To Ask (7/2), Thunder Rock (4/1), Lebowski (5/1), Adelphi Sprite (12/1), Ice Pigeon (12/1), Bollin Phoenix (14/1), Mister Mcarthur (14/1), Chris Cool (20/1), Full Circle (33/1), Tom Cody (50/1)

Verdict

NOTHIN TO ASK has experience between the flags and showed plenty when second in a stronger race than this at Wincanton on his first go under Rules, so he's an obvious choice to open his account. Lebowski was arguably unfortunate to be narrowly denied at Huntingdon last time, so he's a solid alternative ahead of Thunder Rock.
