Good effort in finishing 9L second at Taunton (2m3f, heavy) on his penultimate outing. Well beaten in first time tongue tie (absent here) subsequently and he is an interesting runner in this contest.
Finished runner-up at Newton Abbot (2m5f, good-to-soft) in September. Disappointed at Bangor the following month and one to note on his first outing since.
Held since winning over an extended 2m7f at Huntingdon (good) in October. Races off a mark 1lb lower than for that victory but likely to find a few too good in this contest.
Successful over hurdles in Ireland and has returned to form in finishing runner-up the last twice including over an extended 2m1f at Exeter (good-to-soft) last time. Stepping up in trip.

Forecasts
Midnight Mustang (11/4), Caviar D'Allen (3/1), Easter In Paris (4/1), Millen Dollar Man (5/1), King Cool (6/1), Whos De Baby (13/2), How About It (8/1), That's The Deal (10/1), Postbridge (25/1)
MILLEN DOLLAR MAN can register his first victory for trainer Alex Dunn by taking this competitive looking handicap chase. The selection should appreciate this step up in trip and he can get the better of Whos De Baby who is returning from a break while King Cool should appreciate the drop in trip having run well over further last time.
