We deal with a Yukawa-like long-range modified model of gravity (MOG)
which recently allowed to successfully accommodate many astrophysical and
cosmological features without resorting to dark matter. On Solar System scales,
MOG predicts anomalous retrograde secular precessions of the planetary longitudes of the
perihelia
