Inis Mor is set to return to Newmarket for the Betfred 1000 Guineas after her encouraging fourth in the Nell Gwyn Stakes last week.
David Menuisier's daughter of Galiway won her first two outings last term before finishing the campaign with a second-placed effort in a valuable conditions event at Longchamp.
She caught the eye with the way she travelled into contention on the Rowley Mile and although eventually beaten two lengths by shock winner Azleet, her handler believes there will be more to come when moving up to a mile for the opening fillies’ Classic of the campaign.
"I was happy with her performance, as she was just ready to start her season," said Menuisier.
"The race will sharpen her up, but I thought she travelled arguably the best of all, which when you consider that she’s bred to stay, is really exciting.
"Down the line it’s always been the plan to step up in trip and she has shown that she’s part of the top fillies of her generation which is very exciting.
"The step up will come gradually as we go along but it makes sense to go back in two weeks for the Guineas.
"She is in the French Guineas but the main idea of going to Newmarket was to make sure she handles the track, which she does. In France you could be drawn 16 of 16 and we’re training in England, so why not run in England."
Inis Mor sports the colours of Quantum Leap Racing, whose Group One-winning Tamfana – also trained by Menuisier – was an agonising fourth in her own quest for Classic honours in 2024.
Menuisier added: "I’m due one to go my way! I think it makes sense to go back and I’m extremely lucky to be in this situation again."
Meanwhile, Classic plans remain undecided for Evolutionist, following her impressive reappearance in France earlier this month.
Having rounded off a promising juvenile campaign with a third-place finish behind 1000 Guineas favourite Precise in the Fillies' Mile at Newmarket, Karl Burke’s filly looked to have improved again when winning the Group Three Prix de la Grotte at ParisLongchamp.
The Night Of Thunder filly holds entries in the English, Irish and French versions of both the Guineas and the Oaks and connections are in no rush to make a final call on where she will ultimately end up.
"We haven’t made any decision yet, we’re just waiting and seeing," said Paul Curran, racing and bloodstock manager for owners Forz Europe Ltd.
"We’ll let her do the talking for us and won’t make any decision until closer to the time."
Evolutionist is one of two entries for the 1000 Guineas at Newmarket for the owners, along with Royal Fixation, who was bought by the Forz Europe team during the off-season and sent to Burke after winning the Lowther and finishing third in the Cheveley Park Stakes.
However, connections have already stated their intention to stick to shorter trips this season, with a tilt at the Commonwealth Cup at Royal Ascot an obvious major target.
