Shankly made a winning start at Salisbury but was tailed off in subsequent outings in Group company. New Street has been raised a harsh-looking 5lb for recent placed efforts and Emaad steps up a grade having gone close at Lingfield a fortnight ago. MUSTAMIR is another with something to prove but better is expected from James Tate's charge now handicapping for the first time and he gets the nod. Discovery Bay needs further but the inconsistent Cravat is due one of his better efforts.
