Duntle is to stay in training next year as she seeks to register a Group One success.

The David Wachman-trained filly has sealed victories in Group Two and Three contests and was even first past the post at the top level in the Matron Stakes at Leopardstown in September 2012, but she was demoted to second place following a stewards' inquiry.

This season she gained her Group Two triumph in the Duke of Cambridge Stakes at Royal Ascot and has been placed in two Group One races.

The Royal meeting will again be a port of call before she is handed another chance in the best company.

"I think we are going to keep her on again next year and try to win that elusive Group One which is good," Wachman told At The Races.

"She did win one but lost it in the stewards' room. Maybe she can win one and they let her keep it.

"She's eligible for Group Two's. I suppose it will be Ascot again and then we'll try to find a Group One after that."
