The bet365 Scottish Cheltenham Trials

The build up to Cheltenham and The Grand National Festivals starts here. This fixture is the pinnacle of the jumps season at Musselburgh Racecourse and is assured to draw the UK's top trainers with more than £400,000 on offer.

Saturday features the bet365 Scottish Champion Handicap Chase and the Listed bet365 Scottish Triumph Hurdle Trial while Sunday features The bet365 Edinburgh National.

We attract contenders for The Cheltenham and The Grand National Festivals. It's The BIGGEST Cheltenham Trials Weekend in UK!​

Previously, we have seen runners go onto win at the big festivals including Frodon, Seeyouatmidnight, Mighty Thunder and Greanateen. We have also welcomed Paul Nicholls, Lucinda Russell, Fergal O'Brien and Sandy Thomson.

An excellent atmosphere, a great choice of places to eat and drink and the perfect way to see some of the country's top owners, trainers, jockeys and horses in action. A must for all Jumps Racing fans.

We're only 6 miles from Edinburgh City Centre with direct transport links and a courtesy bus from Wallyford (connecting to Edinburgh) and NewCraighall (connecting to Galashiels) train stations.
