Paul Hanagan has a good record when riding for David Evans and the pair team up with WEEKEND MILLIONAIR who is narrowly preferred to newcomer Golden Shaheen in a race that lacks strength in depth. The selection made his debut in a Chepstow maiden that looks decent form for the track. He looked pretty green on that occasion but got the hang of things late on and should relish the extra yardage this afternoon. Bonasera and Ochilview Warrior have both shown very little in two runs, and more of a threat may come from the once-raced Land Of Plenty who shaped with a degree of promise at Haydock last time. The drop in trip may not be a bad move at this stage of her career and she cannot be overlooked. Tut steps up in trip and that move should suit this half-sister to Solaria, so watch the market for signs of encouragement, however most danger may come from Golden Shaheen. The Godolphin newcomer made 150,000 guineas as a yearling and he is related to plenty of winners, including as juveniles. Not a strong race, where Brootommitty wouldn't need to be a world-beater to feature on debut, but it is Weekend Millionair who can come out on top.
