Options remain open for the Andy Oliver-trained Orchidaceae, after she was found to be in season following a disappointing effort at the Curragh earlier this month.

Sent off joint-favourite on what was her debut in handicap company, the Churchill bay ultimately failed to make an impact.

A dual winner last season and a solid sixth in a Group 3 at Leopardstown in March, Oliver is now assessing what her optimum trip might be.

"We haven't really mapped out a plan, she is into the handicap bracket so we will see," Oliver commented.

"She had a very flat run at the Curragh and we found she was in season.

"Also, I just thought there was a level of inconsistency with the few we had run and that seems to be settling now, so I hope I am a bit more confident with things going forward.

"We still have a few things to figure out with her - trip wise and whatever. We hope we are back on the front foot."
