Aidan O'Brien's Oaks winner Was may have her next start in Sunday's Barclays Bank Ireland Pretty Polly Stakes at the Curragh.
The lightly raced filly sprang a 20-1 surprise at Epsom on just her third run and the regally-bred youngster is one of half a dozen possibles for Ballydoyle in the Group One. Betterbetterbetter, Maybe, Soon, Up and Wonderful are others still engaged from the yard.
