    Verdict

    BERTALUS was up against higher-rated opposition than this over 3m here last time but won with a bit to spare. He has a 13lb hike to contend with but is still preferred to Landmeafortune, runner-up over 2m here in January in a lower grade race. Bold Sir Brian has yet to show any benefit for a tumble down the weights and was a long way behind the selection last time. See Double You finished a bit closer at Fairyhouse recently but is 10lb higher for this and another veteran Maybe I Wont is preferred on the back of a couple of placed efforts.
