Verdict

BIRD FOR LIFE was justifiably demoted following a judge's error last time but can gain compensation in this. He was eventually just foiled by a well-treated rival and finished clear of the third. Munsarim showed glimpses of his old self last time and has each-way potential along with Garcon Du Soleil who has reserved his best for this circuit. Thahab Ifraj is another who can be considered now dropping in grade off a reasonable mark.
