Forecasts

State Occasion (2/1), Nazuna (5/2), Light Refrain (7/2), Diamond And Gold (8/1), Amasova (10/1), Turandot (10/1), Forever Grateful (16/1), Varenna Storm (20/1), Riches And Rubies (28/1), Copper Queen (28/1), Heat And Dust (100/1)

STATE OCCASION looks the part and performed with credit when fifth in an above-average novice at Ascot 3 weeks ago. She seems sure to build on that so earns the vote at the chief expense of Nazuna and Light Refrain.
