Massaat is to have a racecourse gallop during the Craven meeting at Newmarket ahead of an outing back at the track in the Qipco 2000 Guineas.
First-season trainer Owen Burrows plans to send the three-year-old to the Rowley Mile as he steps up his preparations for a tilt at the mile colts' Classic.
The son of Teofilo, who is second-favourite for Group One prize on April 30 with some firms, underlined his talent when chasing home Air Force Blue in the Dewhurst Stakes on just his third start and first at the top table, having previously posted an impressive victory in a maiden at Leicester.
Burrows said: "Touch wood Massaat is in good nick and I am very pleased with him. I did contemplate giving him a run beforehand, but timing-wise it didn't work out.
"The plan is to send him to the Rowley Mile for a racecourse gallop at the Craven meeting, then go straight for the 2000 Guineas.
"He can go up overnight and have a trip away from the yard, all being well. We've yet to decide which day it will be that he works."
