Bunyola Bay faces Moreedd in our feature Friday contest from Doncaster - live on Your Site Racing.

A potentially informative Natural Innovations Novice Stakes at Doncaster where Bunyola Bay will hope to put his experience to good use.

Richard Hannon's son of Ghaiyyath made a pleasing debut when third behind Needle Match at Newbury last year and, given that rival finished fourth in the Greenham, hopes will be high that he can score here.

The Roger Varian-trained Moreedd has a wonderful pedigree, being related to Benbatl among others. He should be watched in the betting as he has his first taste of the track under Callum Rodriguez in the colours of Sheikh Ahmed Al Maktoum.

Ollie Sangster's 78-rated Deported completes the shortlist as he returns to the turf following three starts on the all-weather. Rider Danny Tudhope has a decent record around Doncaster too, finishing in the first two in 20% of his trips around Town Moor over the last five years.

Recent winners Broomfields Cave and Inflexible do battle in a competitive Sun Trade Windows Final Pride Handicap Chase at Chepstow.

Inflexible has a patchy profile but, on his day, he has shown ability over fences and sprung back to life when a 25-1 winner at Uttoxeter last month. He steps up another two furlongs and, if in similar form, he would have a solid chance under David Bass.

Broomfields Cave made it three from six over fences when keeping on well to score at Wincanton. Up 4lb, he rates a big player with more progress expected in this sphere. Useful claimer Bradley Harris retains the ride following the aforementioned victory last time out.

Of the remainder, Charles Ritz ran respectably last time but might not see it out, while Manothepeople will find this easier than his last assignments.

Edgewell bids for a hat-trick as he contests the Free Bets On attheraces.com Handicap Chase at Fontwell.

Nick Scholfield has enjoyed a great first season as a trainer and this looks a fine opportunity for Edgewell to follow up a pair of Hereford victories. Rated much higher in the past, he could take the beating under Harry Reed.

If you're looking for alternatives, then Ballynaheer could be the one. He is a course and distance winner, has been successful on three of his last four starts, but must defy a career-high mark.

Sweet Nightingale and Le Galli Bier are others to mention in a trappy affair, whilst Moonlit Potter will be looking to bounce back after unseating her rider at Hereford recently.

At Chepstow, Paul Nicholls and Nicky Henderson go head-to-head in the Dunraven Windows Miss Millbrook Novices' Hurdle at 4.20pm. The Seven Barrows man fields the Middleham Park-owned Quay Item, whilst the Ditcheat team are represented by the enigmatic Treasure Planet.

On the Town Moor, the 4.35pm Free Race Replays On attheraces.com Novice Stakes sees James Keane's The Jackal - who was unlucky in defeat on debut - make his second start. Jack Mitchell's mount will be up against Bucklow Hill, who made an impression when getting off the mark on debut for Charlie Hills back in January. This race was won in 2024 by Royal Dress, who went on to score at both Listed and Group 3 level before finding his level in Group 2 company at Royal Ascot.

Down at Fontwell, Jackomy goes in search of the hat-trick in the 6.20pm KSR Lighting Handicap Hurdle but will be wary of Calvino and Valadon.
