Khairaat is likely to be stepped up in class for the Wolferton Handicap at Royal Ascot.
Since meeting with defeat on his debut last July, the son of Shamardal has registered three successive victories, including his triumphant seasonal bow at Chester earlier this month.
Although plans remain fluid for the Sir Michael Stoute-trained colt, connections are leaning towards aiming him at the mile-and-a-quarter Listed prize.
Angus Gold, racing manager to owner Hamdan Al Maktoum, said: "If ever we were going to have a good older horse this year, it was going to be him.
"He has just had a few niggling problems and immaturity was probably as much to do with it as anything. If he was really sound he would have been a very good horse, but I still think he will be a good horse.
"He is only going to improve as he gets older and it was great to see him win like that at Chester.
"He needs to go up in grade now. I've not spoken to Sir Michael yet, but the Wolferton looks the likely option for him I'm sure. Hopefully it is onwards and upwards."
