Princess Highway is likely to have her next start in the Prix Vermeille at Longchamp on September 16.

The hugely impressive Ribblesdale Stakes winner could finish only third to Great Heavens in the Irish Oaks on unsuitably soft ground.

Trainer Dermot Weld is keen for her to win a Group One before the season is out and is targeting a few trips abroad.

"Princess Highway will run in either the Irish Champion Stakes or the Prix Vermeille, and I'd say right now the Vermeille is the favourite," said Weld.

"She'll have to meet Shareta, but no matter where you go, you'll meet the best fillies in Europe.

"She'll have an entry on Champions Day and she's also in the Breeders' Cup Fillies And Mares Turf.

"I think she deserves a Group One, she's a very good filly and the way she won at Royal Ascot suggests she's good enough."
