Ekraar is set to step back up to pattern company following a confidence-boosting win for both horse and stable at Newbury yesterday.
He is likely to run in a Group Three contest at Haydock next month after providing trainer Marcus Tregoning with a belated first success of the season in the Newbury Show 2000 Conditions Stakes.
Ekraar, fourth in the French 2000 Guineas earlier this season, put up an impressive performance to get off the mark for the year, beating Peacock Jewel by five lengths with one-time Vodafone Derby hope Bien Entendu a further two and a half lengths adrift in third.
Tregoning said today: 'What we will probably do is run him in the Rose Of Lancaster Stakes at Haydock on August 12, subject to Sheikh Hamdan's approval.
'After yesterday there is some chance he will stay further so there is the Gordon Stakes at Goodwood which is a nice race.
'He has come out of the race very, very well.'
Stablemate Albarahin, runner-up under top-weight in the Tote Exacta Stakes at Sandown last time, is unlikely to run at Newbury this Saturday unless ground conditions ease.
'We have entered him in the Steventon Stakes at Newbury on Saturday but the ground is unlikely to be in his favour,' Tregoning said.
'There is a nice race to be won with him but I don't want to run him on fast ground.
'He's had his fair share of problems but he's moving as well as he's ever done and we want to keep him that way.'
