Amour De Nuit looks good at Musselburg­h

Good weekend in prospect at Scottish track for Nicholls and Henderson

- By THE FERRET

Musselburg­h kicks off its two-day Festival trials meeting and Paul Nicholls can take advantage of the potentiall­y better ground with

AMOUR DE NUIT in the bet365 Scottish County Hurdle while his

WONDERFUL CHARM will take all the beating in the bet365 Scottish Foxhunter Open Hunters’ Chase.

GENERAL MAHLER can lead by example on a cracking card at Musselburg­h tomorrow.

Brian Ellison’s inmate competes in one of the more workaday races at the meeting, the bet365 Handicap Chase, but he should offer pretty good value in his quest to get off the mark over fences.

The rest of the card really ought to be owned by Nicky Henderson.

WE HAVE A DREAM is unlikely to slip up in the bet365 Scottish Triumph Hurdle Trial, while stablemate

CLAIMANTAK­INFORGAN should also get the job done in the Sky Bet Supreme Scottish Trial Novices’ Hurdle.
