Forecasts

Okaidi (6/4), Jems Bond (3/1), Divine Connection (13/2), Broughtons Flare (10/1), Power Player (11/1), Ballyvil (14/1), Lincoln Red (20/1), Chloellie (25/1), Sovereign Moon (28/1), Hot Desert (33/1), Connemera Queen (66/1)

OKAIDI is a long-standing maiden but he found only a thriving winner too good in a slightly stronger handicap than this at Wolverhampton last week and this could be the day he gets off the mark. Jems Bond and Broughtons Flare head the opposition.
