The 30-year-old Soon Huat and partner Shevon Lai Jemie are back on course to make the top-eight cut for the season-ending event from Jan 27-31 following the withdrawal of Chinese top pairs – world No. 1 and Zheng Siwei-Huang Yaqiong and No. 2 Wang Yilyu-Huang Dongping – from all tournaments in Thailand.
