Empire Of Light is penalised for winning at Newmarket and SHAYEKH can take advantage. The latter has had little chance in pattern races the last twice but was earlier demoted after passing the post first on soft ground at Yarmouth. Townsend Manor showed a big improvement at the latter track last time while Insignia is related to three winners and is a newcomer to keep an eye on.
