Ground conditions will play a major part in dictating which 2000 Guineas route Galileo Gold ends up going down, according to trainer Hugo Palmer.
While last year's Vintage Stakes winner will be given a Guineas preparation, plans remain fluid as to which one will be his ultimate target.
The three-year-old, who was last seen finishing third in the Prix Jean-Luc Lagardere at Longchamp in October, stepped up on his work at home last week after having his first canter of the year alongside stablemate Strong Steps.
Palmer said: "Physically, the horse has done unbelievably well from two to three.
"He was a very leggy two-year-old, but he has now come right down the legs and has put 70 kilograms on. He has done really well and I am just absolutely delighted with him.
"We are going to prepare him for a Guineas and he will have entries in all three (English, Irish and French).
"He does not want fast ground and he will run where the ground is most suitable for him.
"The great thing is you don't have to enter prep races early so we can make a call at the beginning of April.
"We will just see if he needs a run, as all horses are different.
"He has always been quite a clean-winded horse so my guess is that he probably won't go for one."
Stablemate Gifted Master is likely to revert to six furlongs on his seasonal return for the £100,000 Tattersalls Millions 3-Y-O Sprint at Newmarket's Craven meeting.
Although he won the Group Three Autumn Stakes over a mile in October, Palmer is leaning towards making the valuable sprint prize in April as his first aim before stepping back up in trip.
He said: "Gifted Master is a very talented horse and always has been.
"We will probably start him off in the Tattersalls Millions six-furlong race at the Craven meeting as it is worth a lot of money and with him being a gelding we don't have to worry about his stallion value.
"He's in great shape and has grown and filled out.
"He is a remarkable athlete as after he won at Newcastle he fractured his pelvis and to come back and win two races the way he did last year shows what an exceptional athlete he is.
"I hope that he can establish himself as a proper miler. He is out of a Shamardal mare so I see no reason why he shouldn't get it properly and it would be nice to have a go at something like the Woodbine Mile later on.
"At the end of the day, though, he is versatile trip-wise having won over five, six, and seven furlongs as well."
