      Verdict

      MODULAR MAGIC is the least exposed having finished runner-up at Newcastle when last in action in November. He may prove good enough on his reappearance given both Tanasoq and Major Pusey look no nearer ending long losing runs despite a tumble down the weights. There was little between runner-up Pavers Pride and Sound Of Iona at Hamilton on their penultimate starts and that’s likely to prove the case once again.
