Lady Dutch has options in Ireland and America after her performance behind Bragging in the Dahlia Stakes at Newmarket.

Marco Botti's Italian import finished fourth of the eight runners in the Group Two, which was a significant step up in class.

The Dutch Art filly finished in front of the likes of Fintry and Rizeena and may take up her entry in the Lanwades Stud Stakes at the Curragh later this month or even venture further afield.

"I thought she ran a good race," said Botti.

"Martin Harley said she didn't enjoy the dip, but it was the first time she had ever run on a course with undulations. He said she kept on changing her legs.

"It was a respectable run, though, and I'm sure there are races to be won with her at that level.

"She could go to the Curragh at the end of the month or we could even take her to Belmont for a race on June 6. Those are her two options.
