Verdict

The hat-trick beckons for British raider STATE OCCASION, who has bagged strong handicaps at Goodwood and York the last twice and can be expected to take this step up in class in her stride. Bear Story landed this race 12 months ago and is likely to be in the thick of things this time round, too. He is next on the list ahead of Hannibal Barca and Aikhal.
