Crossword Genius

A score of blemishes? (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

marks

I believe this is a double definition.

'a score' is the first definition.
(I know that score can be written as marks)

'blemishes?' is the second definition.
(I know this)

'of' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for marks that I've seen before include "Symbols" , "Stains" , "Goals" , "Targets" , "Visible impressions" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
