The bet365 Scottish Champion Chase Raceday
Saturday 6th February 2027
This standout fixture attracts some of the UK and Ireland's leading trainers, owners and horses, all aiming to fine-tune their Festival contenders on Scottish soil.
Past renewals have proven their Festival-making credentials, with runners such as Frodon, Seeyouatmidnight, Mighty Thunder and Greanateen and most recently, Thistle Ask going on to shine on the biggest stages. Over the years, Musselburgh has proudly welcomed training powerhouses including Nicky Henderson, Paul Nicholls, Lucinda Russell, Fergal O’Brien and Dan Skelton, underlining the quality and prestige of the meeting.
Adding to the excitement, the raceday will take on a distinctly Irish flavour, celebrating the spirit and heritage synonymous with the Cheltenham Festival. Enjoy the infectious sounds of traditional Irish music compliments of Dropkick Murphys Irish Bar, alongside spontaneous pop-up Irish dance performances around the racecourse, filling the day with colour, rhythm and the unmistakable energy of the Emerald Isle.
AFTERY PARTY: As the racing concludes, the celebrations continue with an unmissable after-racing party. Join fellow racegoers as the atmosphere ramps up with live music and a vibrant social scene, creating the perfect finale to a thrilling day at the races.
With an electric crowd, an excellent choice of food and drink, and the chance to see the very best of Jump Racing up close, this is a must-attend event for racing fans, where Festival dreams begin and the road to Cheltenham truly comes alive.
