The son of Night Of Thunder would have to be supplemented back into the Epsom Classic, having initially been entered but taken out prior to his impressive York victory, but the Newmarket trainer has ruled out that move and won't be looking to run Economics in the French Derby either.
A summer campaign over 10 furlongs is now on the agenda for the chestnut colt.
Haggas told the Nick Lucky Daily Podcast: "We want to give him more time, he's a lovely big horse - a scopey horse - and has got a big future. So it's a shame these races come up so quickly and he just needs some more time I think, that's my view.
"He's Sheikh Isa's horse but he's thankfully very respectful of his trainers. And ultimately I think he felt that we made the team decision. We discussed this at length beforehand - before the Dante - and my view never changed. But obviously it's a big, big race. It's a huge race, and with fancied horses falling by the wayside, the temptation became greater.
"The Derby is the Derby but we feel that if we're going to be a four-year-old as well... we might go a mile and a half later in the year, of course we might, but at the moment we feel that a mile and a quarter is good for him. He's got plenty of speed, he is by Night Of Thunder. What is the point of going a mile and a half? What are we trying to achieve?
"So that is the discussion we had. It's my job to look after the horse to the best of our ability and if that's not good enough then so be it.
"We'll see in the fulness of time how well the race (Dante) works out, we'll see that at the end of the season, but it was a deeply impressive performance.
"I don't know (where we will see him next), I just want to let him mature. He's an enormous horse and he can go do so much more physically, so let's not ruin him."
As for the blood in one of his nostrils in the immediate aftermath of the York contest, Haggas said: "We think and hope he banged his head on the stalls and that's how we're taking it. We scoped him since and he's been as clean as a whistle so I'm not fussed about that bit. Time, I just think horses need time, all of them."
In light of the news, Sky Bet make City Of Troy their 7/4 favourite for the race in which Aidan O'Brien stablemate Auguste Rodin came roaring back to form following a 2000 Guineas flop last year.
