Verdict
MARINO PRINCE won three minor handicaps in November, all of them easily, before finishing third in an all-weather event at Wolverhampton in January. It's a surprise to see him lining up in selling company but he should be capable of adding to his tally. Leopard Hills is officially rated 11lb lower and receives 16lb so has every chance of gaining his first victory. His latest effort is best ignored as it was over a trip too far and on his first start for five months. Ask The Oracle was beaten a long way in a seller at Ludlow when last seen in November and both Ladies Best and Stir On The Sea have had plenty of chances in very moderate events.
