DAVID NICHOLSON should enjoy another successful visit to. Scotland today. On his journey last April the former champion trainer gained an emotional success in the Scottish Grand National at Ayr with Moorcroft Boy, who was completing a remarkable recovery from a broken neck.

He can mark the first trip to Kelso of his 28-year career with a double courtesy of Soldat and Hatta Breeze.

Soldat is almost certainly a cut above the four-year-olds seen out in Britain to date and should defy a 9lb penalty in the Glassedin Scottish Juvenile Novices Hurdle.

Stable-companion Hatta Breeze, fourth past the post in last year's Triumph Hurdle, can collect the Tim Doody White Line Morebattle Hurdle an hour later.

She was beaten only for finishing speed when runner-up to Mistinguett at Newbury.
