Doncaster hosts the strongest card on Friday

With Huntingdon off Doncaster assumes the role of Britain's best meeting on Friday.

Madrasa - 13:40 Doncaster

Madrasa has yet to translate his Flat form to timber but didn't get a chance to show what he could do with blinkers added for the first time over hurdles at Catterick seven weeks ago (all three Flat wins gained in them), and gets the vote for a yard which has a good record here. Back By Midnight will be a threat if bouncing back, while Yourholidayisover may fare better back over hurdles.

Red Devil Lads - 14:15 Doncaster

Red Devil Lads showed a good attitude when opening his hurdling account in a hood at Ffos Las in December and showed promise both outings over fences prior to that, so is taken to exploit a lower mark in this sphere. Recent C&D winner Achimota remains unexposed as a stayer and looks next best, ahead of American Legend.

Crown And Glory - 15:20 Doncaster

Crown And Glory remains with potential to do better over fences following a promising third from a poor position at Catterick in December and may prove too strong for impressive Market Rasen winner Big George. Rear Admiral will be sharper for his recent run at Newcastle after a lengthy absence and looks best of the rest.
