Alan McCabe is keen to give Azrael a chance in Pattern company in the John Smith's Extra Smooth Stakes at Newbury on Saturday.
The progressive Makbul colt could make the short journey from McCabe's Newark base to Doncaster to take up a less daunting engagement in the Universal Recycling Nursery at Doncaster the same day.
However, ground permitting Azrael will be on his way to Berkshire for the Group Three, formerly known as the Horris Hill Stakes.
"We are keen to go to Newbury and it's looking favourable with the ground," said McCabe.
"We've never run him on soft ground so we really don't want to do that, so if it's good or better at Newbury we'll go there.
"He's a progressive horse and has done nothing wrong. He ran very green first time out at Doncaster. He ran very well in the Ascot race Titus Mills won and arguably they didn't go quick enough for us.
"He then won his Leicester maiden which has turned out to be very good and he was very tenacious in the race he won at Newmarket and the fourth horse (One Lucky Lady) has come out and won at Pontefract.
"He's on the market and there are a few offers on the table, but we are just waiting for one to come."
