Shine; surpass (5)
I believe the answer is:
excel
I believe this clue is a double definition.
'shine' is the first definition.
(I've seen this before)
'surpass' is the second definition.

(Other definitions for excel that I've seen before include "well above average" , "Eclipse" , "Distinguish oneself - XL" , "Be very good at, better than others" , "Be pre-eminent" .)
