Mr Khalid was last seen winning a maiden race at Nottingham in 2015 and has changed trainers since. He steps up in trip for his belated reappearance while Lime And Lemon was placed over 1m2f in soft ground here in October and ran well enough at Doncaster on her comeback. But a chance is taken on DREAM LOVE in this given she won on last year’s racecourse debut over 1m4f and ran well behind the in-form Jacob Cats at Kempton earlier this month. Cape Discovery struggled on the all-weather earlier this year though landed a double here last season.
