Willie McCreery is keen to find Devonshire an opportunity to get her head in front before the season is out following another good effort in defeat at the Curragh last weekend.
The daughter of Fast Company has only once finished out of the first four this season, performing particularly well when third in the Irish 1,000 Guineas.
She stepped up to nine furlongs for the first time in the Dance Design Stakes on Sunday and was not disgraced in finishing fourth.
Devonshire does hold an entry in the Matron Stakes at Leopardstown on Saturday week, but McCreery will wait until nearer the time before deciding whether to return to the highest level.
He said: "She got caught in a pocket in what wasn't a truly-run race. She looked like she was going to get swallowed up in the straight, but once she got into clear daylight she was staying on again.
"It was probably a bit inconclusive. I think we'll be sticking to a mile or a mile and one (furlong) for now anyway.
"We'll keep an eye on it (Matron Stakes). You'll get a truly-run race there, but it might be asking a lot for her to break her duck for the year in a race like that.
"There are a few options for her later on and it would be great to get her head in front as she's been a warrior all year without winning.
"She's run very consistently all season apart from the run at Royal Ascot on very fast ground, so we can forgive her that."
