Okaidi has been threatening to win at Wolverhampton and finished in front of Broughtons Flare when going close last time. But an apprentice was taking 7lb off his back on that occasion and JEMS BOND makes more appeal. The latter was beaten less than a length over today’s trip at Newcastle and can race off the same mark today. Divine Connection slides further down the weights while Chloelli is fitted with a visor for the first time.
