Doubled career tally over C&D in April and arrives on the back of a close second over C&D in first-time cheekpieces (retained) last month, form which has been boosted. Looks sure to give another good account.

Three wins from 9 runs this year. 7/1, creditable third of 9 in handicap at Hamilton (11f, good) 6 days ago. This consistent filly is likely to be in the thick of things again.

Latest win at Beverley in June. Arrives on the back of good placed efforts at Redcar (9f) and Newcastle (1m) in recent weeks. Nudged up 2 lb but still respected.

Successful for Alexandra Dunn at Chepstow (1m) in June. Went close at Thirsk next time but not at best on AW latest. Has first outing for a new stable which also has Ayr Empress in this. Betting should provide more clues.

Forecasts

Breckland (3/1), Cosa Sara (10/3), Bankawi (7/2), Ayr Empress (13/2), Chinese Spirit (15/2), Iron Sheriff (11/1), Royal Countess (12/1)

Verdict

AYR EMPRESS split a pair of next-time-out winners when runner-up over C&D 17 days ago so she could be the way to go at a venue where she's already tasted success this season. Cosa Sara, Iron Sheriff and Bankawi are others to consider in an opener where it's possible to make a case for all the runners.
