Verdict
Hunters Song ran 10 times in Ireland and was placed just once before making a moderate debut in a handicap here earlier this month where he looked as though he needed further. PRINCE NINO hadn't shown much so it was a surprise when he attracted strong support at Wincanton where he led until weakening before the last. He'll probably set a strong pace again and may be able to hang on as Good Friday Fairy was beaten 22 lengths when runner-up over the track and trip last time. Parsons Stone makes his hurdling debut and may prove best of the remainder.
