MILLEN TO ONE was better than a midfield finish suggests on his Naas chase debut and looks interesting now making a quick switch to handicaps in this sphere. Soviet Pimpernel is feared most now tackling a handicap for the first time. Samurai Cracker is one who could play a part at likely bigger odds.
