PRINCE NINO hasn’t earned a place on the podium in seven starts but has managed to earn a handicap rating of 85 and that may well be good enough in a pretty ordinary-looking maiden. Cumhacht was a fair fourth on hurdling debut at Ludlow and has some scope while Double Click finished third at Fontwell and also merits consideration. Delgany Dreamer may prove to be best of the rest.
