Shawkantango has recorded all nine wins over the minimum trip including last week's victory at Wolverhampton when Roy's Legacy finished third. Clock Opera makes more appeal having won over track and trip last time and Ghost Train went close here on his latest start back in July. UPRISE has slid 10lb down the weights since winning a maiden race last season and he gets the vote with a length defeat at Kempton last time suggesting it could be his turn today.
