'Everyone deserves a chance' - Mulholland gives Dunne first ride back on Tuesday

Jockey Robbie Dunne is to return to the racecourse on Tuesday for his first rides since being suspended for bullying and harassment of fellow jockey Bryony Frost.

Dunne was given an 18-month ban last December, which was subsequently reduced to ten months following appeal on March 30, for breaching four charges of the rules of racing relating to "conduct prejudicial to racing".

His suspension officially ends on Sunday, but his racecourse return will come at Hereford a couple of days later aboard the Neil Mulholland-trained Molliana in a 2m3½f mares' handicap hurdle (3.55). The jockey, 36, is also provisionally booked to ride Ballybreeze for Sam Drinkwater at Uttoxeter on Friday.
