Verdict
BIRD FOR LIFE has won three times over the winter and looks likely to run her race once again. She beat several of these at Wolverhampton in December including King Charles and Henry The Fifth and the latter has subsequently placed at Kempton. Boundsy Boy returned to the Flat with a decent effort at Wolverhampton while Huscari is the least exposed and steps up in trip.
