Godolphin are prepared to have a crack at Yeats with Schiaparelli in Saturday's Irish Field St Leger at the Curragh.
The six-year-old has been right back to his best this season, with victories in the Goodwood Cup and at Deauville.
He won four times at the highest level back in his native Germany and the softer ground in Ireland means he has been re-routed from Friday's Doncaster Cup.
'He won't run at Doncaster because the ground will be too quick, but he is pencilled in for the Irish St Leger against Yeats,' said Godolphin's stable jockey Frankie Dettori.
'He's a really good horse. He's got long legs and a big body so he needs a bit of cut in the ground for his joints, but he's a Group One winner four times and he can be a very good Cup horse for next year,' he told At The Races.
