HOMME PUBLIC (4) holds strong form this season with wins at Wetherby then Cheltenham landing the G2 Arkle Trial Novices Chase during November before a runner-up effort at Ascot a month later. This looks an ideal opportunity. Top chance. TOMMY'S OSCAR (2) won the course and distance G2 Lighting Novices Chase here last season. Produced a decent fourth attempting this handicap chase level at Musselburgh and could go close. Multiple Grade 2 winner NUBE NEGRA (1) drops in standard following a fourth in the five runner rescheduled 2m G1 Clarence House Chase at Cheltenham five weeks ago. Shortlist. MALYSTIC (3) placed third contesting a course and distance handicap chase among this company. Not to be discounted.
