Wind Fire could go to Ireland in an attempt to go one better in Group company following an unlucky run in a rough race at Sandown on Saturday.
Trainer David Brown is thinking of taking his dual Listed winner to the Curragh for the Group Two Invincible Spirit Sapphire Stakes on July 18.
Though she travelled well throughout the Group Three Coral Charge, Oisin Murphy had nowhere to go and had to find a way out in the final half furlong, eventually getting to within half a length of Waady at the line.
The move cost Murphy dear, however, as he was banned for nine days (July 18-26) for careless riding which means he would not be able to take the mount in Ireland.
Wind Fire's main target is the Group One Coolmore Nunthorpe Stakes at York on August 21.
"She's come out of the race great. She's not stiff and she's full of herself," said the Newark handler.
"She ought to have won but we were excited by the fact there was no fluke about her third in the Temple. It showed she is a real, proper contender.
"She might go to the Curragh for a Group Two. I've got that in mind dependent on how she is, so if things look right she might go.
"That would gives us a month to the Nunthorpe."
