TRAINER Marco Botti is considering sending Aljazzi on her travels after her brilliant run in the Duke Of Cambridge Stakes.

The Newmarket handler said: "She ran a cracking race at Ascot and came out of it really well.

"She's in the Beverly D Stakes next month and we are still discussing whether to take her to America or keep her in Europe.

"I would say Europe would be my preference at the moment.

"There is a Group 3 at Sandown in September (Atalanta Stakes, September 2) and also the Matron Stakes (Leopardstown, September 9).

"She's a filly who likes a bit of time between her races, so the Falmouth Stakes was always going to come too soon.

"I think she's improved as a four-year-old and we've learned that a mile is definitely her best distance."
