GODOLPHIN'S UAE Derby winner Khawlah is not certain to run in the Investec Oaks with connections considering waiting for Royal Ascot.
The filly, who beat Master Of Hounds a nose at Meydan in March and a 10-1 chance for the Oaks, has only recently rejoined Saeed bin Suroor's string in Newmarket and it has not been decided whether she will line up alongside Qipco 1,000 Guineas winner Blue Bunting at Epsom.
Godolphin racing manager Simon Crisford said on Monday: "Blue Bunting is being aimed at the Oaks and the only other possibility is Khawlah who won the UAE Derby, but she has only recently arrived back from Dubai and the alternative for her would be the Ribblesdale at Royal Ascot."
Crisford said the Mahmood Al Zarooni-trained Blue Bunting and Khawlah were the only two Godolphin possibles for the Oaks of the team's seven entries.
