Lovelocks may well turn out best of those with racecourse experience despite returning a losing favourite at Ayr last time. She's just preferred to recent Redcar runner-up Percy's Gal and Great Wave, while Empress Ali finished a length ahead of Lady Yeats when second over track and trip last month. Jordan Princess is likely to finish closer and the Coolmore-owned Night Fever is worth noting but OXBOW LAKE gets the nod. Roger Varian's yard is ending the season in good form and this sister to a couple of winners in America may be good enough to score on her debut.
