      Verdict

      Bert Kibbler landed a double at Southwell in the January of last year but stablemate Modular Magic has the more recent form with a second over track and trip. The latter is due to be raised 3lb for that effort but BELLAGIO MAN (NAP) has been threatening to get his head back in front and having finished in front of Dusky Prince in this grade at Wolverhampton last time, he gets the nod. Army Of India still looks a shade high in the weights while Irish raider Maritime Rules is doubly engaged having also been entered at Dundalk today.
