Connections of Predominance believe the totescoop6 Victoria Cup at Ascot on Saturday "is the obvious race" for the progressive four-year-old.
The lightly-raced son of Danehill Dancer, trained by William Haggas, is a leading contender for the £105,000 prize after he skilfully overcame traffic problems to win a tight seven-furlong handicap at Haydock last month.
Harry Herbert, racing manager for owners Highclere Thoroughbred Racing, said: "He didn't really engage on his first run back at Doncaster, but he was very eyecatching at Haydock.
"He showed a decent turn of foot and this was the obvious race for him.
"Hopefully if he can reproduce that run, and then add to it a little bit, he can be very competitive."
Conditions at Ascot are likely to be fast, but Herbert does not see that as being an issue.
He said: "That (fast ground) wasn't originally what we thought he'd like, but he's a good-actioned horse and the ground was drying at Haydock."
Charlie Fellowes is using the Victoria Cup as a stepping-stone towards Royal Ascot for runaway Newmarket scorer Accession.
He said: "He hacked up at Newmarket last time out. He's better when he is fresh and has had just under a month since his last run.
"I'm really pleased with him and I'm not worried about the quicker ground as he has got some very good form on quicker ground.
"I think Ascot will really suit him as on that straight seven furlongs they get racing very early on, which he loves, while he seems to like big fields.
"He is seven years young and is on the highest rating in his career.
"The race comes at a perfect time as it will allow him another six-week break before Royal Ascot.
"I think he's more of a Royal Hunt Cup horse, but he'll also get an entry in the Wokingham."
John Best is on weather watch for Mullionheir, who shot up the ratings last year after winning five races.
The Kent handler said: "It's a decent prize, but if we feel the ground is too quick we won't run him - there's a possibility of rain, but it is only a possibility.
"We think he's a very nice horse so it's pointless running him just for the sake of it
"If he doesn't run, we have other options at Newbury and York next week, with a longer-term plan of hopefully getting in the Wokingham at Royal Ascot.
"He seems very relaxed at home and has been working really well."
Stuart Williams saddles new recruit Crazy Chic, who won very nicely at Kempton last month on his final start for Marco Botti.
Williams said: "I'm still finding out about him, in truth, but he's done well on the all-weather.
"His turf form is sparse, but if he can translate his all-weather form he'd obviously have a shout.
"He's a nice addition to the yard and the quick ground won't be a problem."
