Binkers replace cheekpieces on Mosalim, who came out second-best in a scrap for the line over track and trip last month. He should go close again but HOMBRE CASADO (NAP) needed only to be pushed out to win a shade cosily at Yarmouth last time and a further 5lb rise may not be enough to prevent Ed Walker’s progressive colt from landing a hat-trick. De Medici has been placed over 1m2f in both starts in handicaps so far while Zoffalee makes his handicap debut as he returns to action having struggled in Listed company at Doncaster in September.
