Mustadaam's run at York last month was too bad to be true and better is expected in this less competitive affair but Grand Liaison reserves his best for Kempton and Stock Hill Fair usually finds at least one too good. ENDLESS CREDIT has come up against less-exposed, improving types in his last couple of starts. That may not be the case here and he can gain a deserved success. Malekov has been racing in Abu Dhabi and is best watched here following a lay-off.
